Align the polar axis with the magnetic dipole moment. The magnetic dipole field hasThe magnetic-field-line equation gives , hence the dipole magnetic-field line is . Normalize the loaded bundle by its small surface angular radius at . Its boundary obeysThe dipolar flux-tube area for one polar cap is consequentlyEquivalently, is constant by conservation of magnetic flux and near the axis. Two equal loaded caps double the total area. The scaling is independent of the normalization; if the loading angle is specified at another radius , use instead.
