Hi All,

Please show me the derivation of the vector potentiol A for the magnetic dipole.
from equation 8.21 to 8.21a
This page is taken from Sadikus book.

** i tried all day and couldn't manage to obtain it. i need the derivation step by step **

thanks
newbie

Thanks Doc :smile:
 
It looks like the cosine law in a triangle.You should spot that triangle out from the drawing (check all slides).

And the magnetic potential is the solution of Poisson equation for magnetostatcs.

:blushing: gawd.. how could i miss that
 
hi can i get the derivation(soft copy), newbie101?
