homework and exercises - How to get image current in magnetostatics? (magnetic slab)


enter image description here



I want to know the image current and its location which satisfies the boundary condition at the interface.


This problem was originated from the problem 6-33 in Fields and wave electromagnetics, D. Cheng, 2nd Ed.


P-6-33


To solve this problem, the following is what i did.


With equations in magnetostatics and its boundary condition,


B=μH,B1=B2=μ1H1n=μ2H2n,Ht1=Ht2

In this case, the normal boundary condition becomes H1n=μrH2n


From the magnetic flux density which I got from the figure, B=μ0I2π(y2+d2)(yˆx+xˆy), normal and tangential magnetic flux density(B) and magnetic field intensity(H) at interface adjacent to magnetic medium 1 are (ˆx)B1n=μ0Iy2π(y2+d2),H1n=Iy2π(y2+d2)

(ˆy)B1t=μ0Ix2π(y2+d2),H1t=Ix2π(y2+d2)
with this, we can get B and H in magnetic medium 2. H2n=Iyμr2π(y2+d2)B2n=μ0Iy2π(y2+d2)
H2t=Ix2π(y2+d2)B2t=μ0μrIx2π(y2+d2)
Finally, B2=μ0I2π(y2+d2)(yˆx+μrxˆy)
Is this whole procedure right? From this, I cannot infer image current Ii=(μr1μr+1)I as stated in the problem. What makes to satisfy boundary condition? How do I get the image current?
