Abstract

An attempt is made to find the boundary tangential components of potential magnetic fields without constructing solutions in the entire domain. In our procedure, the magnetic energy is expressed as a functional of tangential and normal magnetic fields at the boundary and is minimized by the variational principle. This paper reports a preliminary study on two dimensional potential fields above a plane.
