ABSTRACT
An alternative source of a static magnetic field would be static magnetic charge, if such exists. This chapter considers a few consequences for the vector potential corresponding to such a magnetic field. Stokes’ theorem is applied to find a vector potential. Sphere surrounding a point magnetic charge is discussed. The vector potential is an example of a class of potentials that yield the correct magnetic field except for a one-dimensional set of points in a curve. On this curve, called a string, the magnetic field is regular.
