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 implyby integrating . Thus the first nonzero moment is antisymmetric and can be written using the magnetic dipole momentConsequently the Coulomb-gauge vector potential of a localized steady current has far fieldThe dimensions are
