7 October 2010http:// Limits (Far Away)
7 October 2010http:// The Spinning Ring - Limits Approximate this vector potential near the center of the ring, in the plane of the ring. Approximate this vector potential near the center of the ring, along the z-axis. Approximate this vector potential far from the ring, in the plane of the ring. Approximate this vector potential far from the ring, along the z-axis.
