Abstract
After Chapters 2 and 3, this is our third step towards MFD. In this chapter we need not worry about electric fields; that was the object of the preceding chapter. We now have constant magnetic fields, generated by constant currents. Our application to solenoids will serve later in relation with solar magnetic elements and sunspots. We then have a glimpse at the Earth’s magnetic field, and we return to the proton beam.
