Just as V.B=0allows us to express B as the curl of a vector potential (B=∇×A), so ∇.A=0permits us to write A itself as the curl of a "higher" potential:A=∇×W. (And this hierarchy can be extended ad infinitum.)

(a) Find the general formula for W (as an integral over B), which holds whenB→0 at ∞.

(b) Determine for the case of a uniform magnetic field B. [Hint: see Prob. 5.25.]

(c) Find inside and outside an infinite solenoid. [Hint: see Ex. 5.12.]
