(a) one way to fill in the "missing link" in Fig. 5.48 is to exploit the analogy between the defining equations for and Maxwell's equations for.Evidently A depends on B in exactly the same way that B depends on(to wit: the Biot-Savart law). Use this observation to write down the formula for A in terms of B.
(b) The electrical analog to your result in (a) is

Derive it, by exploiting the appropriate analogy.
Question: Find the magnetic field at point Pfor each of the steady current configurations shown in Fig. 5.23.

A magnetic dipole is situated at the origin, in an otherwiseuniform magnetic field . Show that there exists a spherical surface, centered at the origin, through which no magnetic field lines pass. Find the radius of this sphere, and sketch the field lines, inside and out.
I worked out the multipole expansion for the vector potential of a line current because that's the most common type, and in some respects the easiest to handle. For a volume current :
(a) Write down the multipole expansion, analogous to Eq. 5.80.
(b) Write down the monopole potential, and prove that it vanishes.
(c) Using Eqs. 1.107 and 5.86, show that the dipole moment can be written
Is Ampere's law consistent with the general rule (Eq. 1.46) that divergence-of-curl is always zero? Show that Ampere's law cannot be valid, in general, outside magnetostatics. Is there any such "defect" in the other three Maxwell equations?
