heal.abstract	It is proved that a complete line-current loop exerts, according to the Ampère force law in magnetostatics, a force on a line-current element which is normal to it, irrespectively whether or not the element belongs to the current loop exerting the force. It is therefore shown that the so-called longitudinal Ampère forces do not exist. © 1987.	en
