(see attached file for the diagram)
Ampere's law in magnetism is equivalent to Gauss' law in electrostatics.
It states that the sum of the magnetic fields along a closed path about a current source is proportional to the current source (If you remember Gauss' law it states that the sum of electric fields over a closed surface about a charge source is proportional to the charge source).
In mathematical terms it states that:
Where 0 is the proportionality ...
