Question
In order to have a current in a long wire, it should be connected to a battery or some such device. Can we obtain the magnetic due to a straight, long wire by using Ampere's law without mentioning this other part of the circuit?

Answer
We can obtain a magnetic field due to a straight, long wire using Ampere's law by mentioning the current flowing in the wire, without emphasising on the source of the current in the wire. To apply Ampere's circuital law, we need to have a constant current flowing in the wire, irrespective of its source.
