electromagnetism - How do we apply Ampère's law for non-planar loops?


How do we apply Ampère's (magnetism) law for non-planar loops?


Its most general form(or you can say the only one I know) is $$ \oint_C \mathbf B\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf l = \mu_0 \iint_S\mathbf J\cdot \mathrm d\mathbf S $$ But what would current enclosed mean in case of non planar loops. I mean infinite amount of curves can contain such loop. As a result while the right-hand side (line integral of B field) would same in each but the integral of current density would be different for each curve (surface or manifold).

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
