Abstract
This chapter we shall devote entirely to applications of the Biot–Savart Law and the solution of Poisson’s Equation for the vector potential. All that we will do here depends entirely on the results of the preceding chapter in which we developed the basic theory of magnetostatic fields. We have chosen to separate this chapter from the theoretical development primarily to keep the chapter lengths reasonable. We hope that this will benefit the reader.
