For my application, size/shape of magnet my B-field is mostly spherical. This can be seen in a magnetics simulation: The contours of the field do change direction as you move around a circle from the origin at a fixed radius, however the absolute value of B will be mostly constant. This can be...

You are correct, there are going to be multiple locations where B (and r) will have the same absolute magnitude. For my application this is fine, I'm only interested in knowing the total distance my arbitrary point is away from center of the magnet.

Thanks so much for the reply! Solving a scaler equation in the usual way is where I'm stuck. I don't know how to go about solving a scaler equation. This level of math is not by strongest subject.

So I'm looking for some advice on a problem that I am trying to solve for a project. I'm an engineer but my background in vector mathematics is very minimal so I'm looking for some assistance. Lets assume we have a permanent magnet. We know the characteristics of this magnet, such as it's...
