How to Calculate and Solve for Magnetic Potential | Magnetic Field

The image above represents magnetic potential. To calculate magnetic potential, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Magnetic Permeability of Vacuum (μ_o), Strength of Magnetic Pole (m), Relative Magnetic Permeability (μ_R) and Seperating Distance (r).

The formula for calculating magnetic potential:

v = ^μ_om / _4πμRr

Where:

v = Magnetic Potential
μ_o = Magnetic Permeability of Vacuum
m = Strength of Magnetic Pole
μ_R = Relative Magnetic Permeability
r = Separating Distance

Let’s solve an example;
Find the magnetic potential when the magnetic permeability of vaccum is 1.2566371E-6, the strength of magnetic pole is 10, the relative magnetic permeability is 22 and seperating distance is 18.

This implies that;

μ_o = Magnetic Permeability of Vacuum = 1.2566371E-6
m = Strength of Magnetic Pole = 10
μ_R = Relative Magnetic Permeability = 22
r = Separating Distance = 18

v = ^μ_om / _4πμRr
That is, v = ^{(0.0000012566371)(10)} / _4π(22)(18)
v = ^{0.000012566371000000001} / _4976.282
v = 2.52e-9

Therefore, the magnetic potential is 2.52e-9.
