Question
In Ampere's $\oint\overrightarrow{\text{B}}.\text{d}\overrightarrow{\text{l}}=\mu_0\text{i},$ the current outside the curve is not included on the right hand side. Does it mean that the magnetic field B calculated by using Ampere's law, gives the contribution of only the currents crossing the area bounded by the curve?

Answer

In Ampere's law $\oint\overrightarrow{\text{B}}.\text{d}\overrightarrow{\text{l}}=\mu_0\text{i},$ is the total current crossing the area bounded by the closed curve. The magnetic field B on the left-hand side is the resultant field due to all existing currents.
