Abstract

A simple expression is derived for the magnetic vector potential of current in a thin ring, in terms of the first derivative of toroidal functions of zero order. The axial and radial field components and the mutual inductance between two wire rings are obtained. These expressions are evaluated on a digital computer and the results are summarized in a series of graphs.
