so that

The displacement across any spherical surface must , so that

and therefore, if ,

Thus the lines of magnetic forces are circles round the axis of and the magnitude of the force equals

which is Mr. Heaviside's result. If , the integral becomes infinite, the displacement will be within a cone of semi-vertical angle ; we must therefore only integrate within this cone, and the equation to determine is,

or

Thus the magnetic force

.
