Homework Statement
[/B]
I have been given an equation for the magnetic potential of a buried magnetic object which is as follows
Pm=α/x2
Where α is some constant and x is the distance from the magnetic body.
I need to derive an expression for the magnetic field strength at some distance x away from the magnetic body.
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that the magnetic body will generate it's own magnetic field which in essence is a vector field of magnetic force lines. My question Is, is deriving an expression for the magnetic field strength simply a case of integrating the expression for the magnetic potential with respect to the position x ? If not how do I go about solving this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
