Magnetic Fields in a Domain without

Currents using Scalar Magnetic Potential Vm

In magnetostatic problems where no electric currents

are present, it is possible to formulate and solve the

problem using a scalar magnetic potential.

In a current-free region: H= 0 (Amprs Law)

This implies that the magnetic scalar potential Vm canbe defined from the relation: H = Vm

Using the constitutive relation: B = 0rH+Br, the

equationB = 0 (Gauss Law) becomes:

0 0r mV rB
