Starting with Equation 9–5 and substituting the constitutive equations:
(9–27) |
This can be rearranged as:
(9–28) |
Assuming a quasi-steady model (that is, neglecting transient terms)
(9–29) |
Similarly for Equation 9–3:
(9–30) |
Using the constitutive relation between the Magnetic Induction () and the Magnetic Field (), in addition to the quasi-steady approximation:
(9–31) |
Using vector identities (Equation 9–22) assuming uniform magnetic permeability, and enforcing the Coulomb gauge that , the transport equation for the magnetic vector potential becomes:
(9–32) |
Note that the left-hand side of the transport equation for the magnetic vector potential has only transport by diffusion, which is balanced by the sources on the right-hand side.
