In introductory texts Ampere's law is generally introduced in the steady-current form ?B · dl = µ[subscript 0]I, and it is later extended to a more general form involving the so-called displacement current I[subscript d], ?B · dl = µ[subscript 0](I + I[subscript d]) · (1). Here the line integral is to be taken along a closed "Amperian" loop, and "I" is the net conventional current that penetrates any surface bounded by the loop. In its steady-current form (without I[subscript d]), Ampere's law is used to find the magnetic field generated by highly symmetric arrangements of current-carrying wires, for example, an infinite straight line of current or an infinite solenoid, in analogy with Gauss's law.
