Hello, I have derived an expression for ##\vec J## in a particular, unusual physical problem in 2D. The expression is different from ##\vec 0## everwhere in the material except at at least two different points.

Can I conclude that the only way for this to occur is that ##\vec J## itself decays to ##\vec 0## the closer it gets to the center of the vortices? I assume that the current density vanishes exactly at the center of vortices of currents.

Also, what can I conclude about the magnetic field?

Would you be able to share the expression or perhaps have an image?

I would assume that the magnetic field decays to zero since at those vortices the current goes to zero.
 
Thread 'Colors in a plasma globe'
I have a common plasma globe with blue streamers and orange pads at both ends. The orange light is emitted by neon and the blue light is presumably emitted by argon and xenon. Why are the streamers blue while the pads at both ends are orange? A plasma globe's electric field is strong near the central electrode, decreasing with distance, so I would not expect the orange color at both ends.
