1 Finding H and B using magnetic scalar potential

Because there is no current in this problem, we are able to apply use the magnetic scalar potentialmethod that Jackson derives in section 5.9. the scalar potential is given by equation (5.100).

In this case, the magnetization is uniform and pointed along the z-axis, M = M0z, so the first integralis zero, as is the sidewall’s contribution to the second integral. Further, by the cylindrical symmetry ofthe problem, we can see that the H-field at points on the z-axis will be oriented in the z direction. Sorather than expanding |x−x′|−1 according to equation (3.70) and finding the scalar potential everywhere,finding it along the z-axis will suffice.

In order to simplify the latter two terms, we must break this potential into a piecewise function. Thelatter two terms must always be positive because they represent lengths.

The B-field is now given by B = µ0(H + M). Magnetization is only non-zero inside the magnet, sowhen we calculate B there, it cancels. Now the B-field is continuous everywhere and satisfies ∇ ·B = 0.
