According to Ampers’s circuital law, “ The line integral of the magnetic field, around a closed loop, equals $\mu_{o}$ times the total current passing through the surface enclosed by that loop.”
Alternate Answer
$\oint\overrightarrow{\text{B}}.\overrightarrow{\text{d}l} = \mu_{o}\text{I}$
For the infinite current carrying wire, we get
$\text{B}.\oint\text{d}l = \mu_{o}\text{I}$
or $\text{B} 2 \pi\text{r} = \mu_{o}\text{I}$
or $\text{B} = \frac{\mu_{o}\text{I}}{2\pi\text{I}}$

The magnetic field lines form closed loops while the electric field lines originate from positive charges and end at negative charges.
