Ampere's law is only true in when dealing with DC.

The angle of a cut to a surface does not affect any equations and can be treated identically. Any imaginary closed loop such that $\vec B$ **is constant over the loop and parallel to the loop** is usable with Ampere's law as $B$ can be reduced to a constant scalar.
The geometries that work include:
- Infinite cylinders with $J$ that may vary with $r$ but not $\phi$
- Infinite sheets/slabs where $J$ may vary with $z$ but not $x,y$
- Infinite selenoids
- Toroids (a selenoid bent into a donut shape)
1. Create a cross-section perpendicular to the current and determine if symmetry of the loop can meet conditions for geometry
2. Choose $dl$ in the direction of $B$ (counterclockwise)
3. Determine $dS$ (out of the page) and apply Ampere's law
