Formulation of the quantitative laws of electrostatics and magnetostatics. He also developed the mathematical theory of electric force and invented the torsion balance that was to be used in electricity experiments for the next 100 years. In the presence of a magnetic material, the total work done in establishing a free current distribution is w all space bh dv, or, in the presence of a lih magnetic material u 2. Most of the equations we have derived for the electric fieldsmay be readily used to obtain corresponding equations formagnetic fields. The magnetic dipole moment of the current loop makes an angle q. Magnetostatics oersteds experiment a compass is an extremely simple device. The atoms in matter have electrons that give rise to effective atomic currents, the current density of which is a rapidly fluctuating quantity.
A magnetic magnetic compass compass consists of a small, lightweight magnet balanced on a nearly frictionless pivot point. Principles of magnetostatics is a wellwritten combination of physics theory, application, and magnet design.

Magnetostatics is the study of magnetic fields in systems where the currents are steady not changing with time. Electrostatics and magnetostatics we have now completed our theoretical investigation of electrostatics and magnetostatics. The basic equations of interest are amperes law and gauss law for magnetostatics. It is the magnetic analogue of electrostatics, where the charges are stationary. Just as the electric field vector e is the basic quantity in electrostatics, the magneticflux density or magnetic induction b plays a fundamental. Fall semester, 2007 all lecture notes, handouts, etc. The magnetostatic energy stored in a current distribution is given by u 2. Usually magnetostatics is defined as the physics of stationary and divergence free current distributions, however, a zero divergence is a superfluous current condition that is not satisfied in case of many magnetostatics experiments in the past and present. This is the first differential equation of magnetostatics. There are trivial problems and there are tough problems.
