| Jan 2, 2018 at 15:40 | comment | added | Joe | According to Ampere, $n=2$ and not $\frac{1}{2}$ | |
| Jan 2, 2018 at 15:32 | comment | added | Joe | However if the source circuit is closed, all force laws are same and then Grassmann force law can be derived from that of Ampere. | |
| Jan 2, 2018 at 15:31 | comment | added | Joe | You are mistaken a bit here. Ampere ASSUMES the force is along the line joining the elements. Ampere force law is not "general" (by general I mean an equation satisfying all force laws). Since it is not general, the force law of Grassmann (between two current elements) cannot be derived from that of Ampere. However general force law equation not only derives Ampere and Grassmann force laws but also shows all other valid force laws (compatible with closed circuits). | |
| Jan 2, 2018 at 12:46 | comment | added | Joe | Your answer is good and indeed correct. However I am asking about general force law and not Ampere's force law. Ampere's for law is a special case of general force law | |
