Differentiate under the integral and use :
The omitted boundary term vanishes if the current is localized sufficiently rapidly. A steady current obeys charge conservation , hence
For much larger than the source size,
Localization and imply . They also imply
by integrating . Thus the first nonzero moment is antisymmetric and can be written using the magnetic dipole moment
Consequently the Coulomb-gauge vector potential of a localized steady current has far field
The dimensions are
