Ampère's law may refer to either of two laws with his name:

  • Ampère's circuital law, which relates the integrated magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop,
  • Ampère's force law, which describes the force of attraction or repulsion between two current-carrying wires, and is the basis for the SI units definition for the unit of current, the ampere.
