Generalized potential formulation for 3-D magnetostatic problems

Abstract

Scalar potential formulations as applied to the solution of magnetostatic problems are reviewed. The concept of a generalized potential formulation is introduced. Based on this concept, six methods that can be used for a wider range of problems are developed. It is shown that the other existing formulations and methods are special cases of the generalized potential.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
