    1) The document shows calculations for the magnetic field Bx integrated around an infinite loop carrying a current I. 2) Using substitutions, the integral is evaluated to equal μ0I/2, which is consistent with Ampere's Law that the line integral of B around a closed loop equals the permeability times the current enclosed. 3) The calculations verify that Ampere's Law holds even for an infinite loop carrying a current, with the magnetic field contribution closing back on itself at infinity.

    what Ampere’s Law tells us to expect if we imagine the loop runs along the x-axis
    closing on itself at infinity:  B  d l  μ0 I .
