Figure 2: Comparison between the magnetic vector potential component ?of a wire with uniformly distributed current and the electric potential V of the equivalent cylinder with uniformly distributed charge. In electrostatics Magnetic Flux Biot Savart Law and Applications The component values shown for use in the Biot–Savart equation. The radial components of H cancel by symmetry. Example : A simple toroid wrapped with N turns modeled by a magnetic circuit. Determine B inside the closely wound toroidal coil. * A - vector magnetic potential (Wb/m) Vector Magnetic Potential Vector Poisson’s equation Laplacian Operator (Divergence of a gradient) Poisson’s Equation Poisson’s Equation in electrostatics The line integral of the vector magnetic potential A around any closed path equals the total magnetic flux passing through area enclosed by the path The Biot-Savart Law relates magnetic fields to the currents which are their sources. In a similar manner, Coulomb’s Law relates electric fields to the point charges which are their sources. Finding the magnetic field resulting from a current distribution involves the vector product, and is inherently a calculus problem when the distance from the current to the field point is continuously changing.
