Physics Asked on July 7, 2021
I’m reading Griffiths proof of Ampère’s Law and in that proof he needs to show that :
$$oint frac{(x – x^{‘})}{imath ^{3}}mathbf J cdot mathbf {da^{‘}} = 0 $$ where $$imath = sqrt {(x – x^{‘})^2 + (y – y^{‘})^2 + (z – z^{‘})^2} $$
He makes the claim that if $mathbf J$ is confined to finite space then $mathbf J_{surface} = 0$ and the integral indeed equals zero.
In the notes he writes : "If J itself extends to infinity (as in the case of an infinite straight wire), the surface integral is still typically zero, though the analysis calls for greater care."
My question is : Why is the surface integral still zero in the case where $mathbf J$ itself extends to infinity ?
Ampere's law is actually an integrated form, the base form is
$H = Qv times vec s$, where s is the radiant vector $S = 1 / gamma hat r^2$, and $gamma = 4pi_{SI} = 1_{cgs}$ .
When this is integrated over a string of flowing charges, you get the current around a loop thing = loop around a current.
