[Q]One question about Magnetic boundary conditions.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the magnetic boundary condition, specifically the equation B_{1n} = B_{2n}, which states that the normal components of the magnetic field are equal across the boundary between two materials. This condition holds true even in non-uniform magnetic fields that vary with the spatial variable r. The clarification provided emphasizes that B_{1n} and B_{2n} refer to the magnetic fields precisely at the interface, not at points further away.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic field concepts and terminology
  • Familiarity with boundary conditions in electromagnetism
  • Knowledge of non-uniform fields and their mathematical representations
  • Basic principles of vector calculus
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of magnetic boundary conditions in detail
  • Explore the implications of non-uniform magnetic fields in different materials
  • Learn about the mathematical treatment of boundary conditions in electromagnetism
  • Investigate applications of magnetic boundary conditions in engineering and physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, electrical engineers, and students studying electromagnetism who seek to deepen their understanding of magnetic boundary conditions and their applications in various materials.

Hi.

You know that B_{1n} = B_{2n} as one of the boundary condition when

magnetic field is go across from material 1 to material 2, n means direction perpendicular to

the boundary surface.

I wander this theorem is right in non-uniform field which is function of space variable r.

I read prove of this theorem that using limit so i thought this theorem is right only for close

observation point to boundary.


Please assist me.

Thank you

B1n and B2n are the fields just at the interface, but not away from it.
That is what is meant by "boundary condition".
