How to solve magnetic field using differential form?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving magnetic fields using differential forms, specifically in the context of Maxwell's equations. Participants highlight that while integral forms are commonly understood, differential forms often provide a more straightforward approach to problem-solving. An example illustrating the application of differential forms in electromagnetism is requested to clarify this method's advantages.

is there any general way? i mean i know how to do it in integra form but the course I am taking right now requires me to do it in differential method

Perhaps I don't understand the question right, but usually the solution of a problem is simpler using the differential form than the integral form of the Maxwell equation. Can you give an example?
