According to what you just posted, should I then simply substitute the appropriate j (in terms of M and c) for each of the two planes with fields 2*pi*j/c?

peripatein said:Using the RHR the fields would form a unified field of 4*p*M is the positive z direction. Do you agree?
I believe it was because you were considering the field of only one straight wire of current rather than the superposition of the fields of all the current elements in the surface.peripatein said:I do see it, using B-S Law and the RHR, but why didn't my initial application of the RHR get me there? Why did the RHR "seemingly" yielded the wrong result?
Also, how could I have convinced myself that there was no volumetric charge density rho and only surface density? Is it because based on Gauss's Law a volumetric charge density would entail an electric field and there is none in this set-up?
peripatein said:Could we have combined both M in the x direction (this set up) and P in the z direction (previous set up) into a new set up? Will it make any sense?
