simplified explanation of ampere law.
Ampere’s force law is different from "Ampere law". Oersted observed that magnetism was created from electricity passing through a wire. Ampere repeat Oersted’s experiment and setup another experiment showing that two parallel electric currents had a force acting on each other. Ampere did express this force mathematically and founded the the electrodynamic science. Maxwell took the ideas of Faraday and Ampere electrodynamic and created a set of equations. One of the equation is called "Ampere law" and state that a varying electric field create a magnetic field.
Quote: "One of the equation is called "Ampere law" and state that a varying electric field create a magnetic field." Ampère's law states that a current creates a magnetic field. Maxwell-Ampère's law, which is a generalization, states that sources of magnetic fields are currents OR varying electric fields.
