Uniformly magnetized ring with a narrow gap

ID: uniformly-magnetized-ring-with-a-narrow-gap

A rod of magnetic path length and tangential magnetization closed by a gap of width has constant flux in the one-dimensional magnetic circuit approximation. Equal cross sections and negligible leakage give , while absence of free current gives . Their solution is the displayed pair. Gap fringing or an unspecified cross-section change requires a more detailed field model.
