The magnetization is magnetic dipole moment per unit volume. In magnetostatics it producesThe magnetic field intensity obeysso isolates free currents while accounts for bound currents. For a linear isotropic material, .
Ampere's law for a circular loop around the free line current givesin both media. ThereforeAt , the net bound surface-current density isHence its magnitude isand for a positive current along it points along when , reversing when .
