Abstract

The vector integral-equation method for computing three-dimensional, quasistatic magnetic fields is developed with a view to its application to configurations of the type that occur in magnetic recording. Starting from appropriate Green-type vector integral relations for the magnetic-field quantities, the relevant integral equations are derived. Their numerical handling is briefly discussed.
