magnetism derivation

Griffiths writes:

A(r)=(mu/4pi) int{(1/|r-r'|) [del' x M(r')]}dV'+(mu/4pi) closed int{(1/| r-r'|) [M(r') x da']}
Then in next step,he has replaced del' x M by del x M to define J_b
I have referred to the chapter of dielectrics and polarization where also I noticed a parallel approach to define rho_b
Discussion with friends and other books suggests that we may omit the prime on the del that operates on M,since that del clearly operates on x',y',z' of the point where magnetization is M.
But, I am hesitating to accept this explanation as we have dealt with cases where del x a vector quantity depending on primed co-ordinates is equal to zero.Like del x J(r')=0 in magnetostatics to prove div B=0 from Bio-Savart's law.

Is it that: J_b(r)=del x M(r) in general
and J_b(r')=del' x M(r') ?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
