Magnetostatics - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magnetostatics is the study of magnetic fields in systems where the electric currents are steady (not changing with time).[1]

Magnetostatics is widely used in magnetic storage devices such as in computer memory. Magnetostatic focussing can be got by a permanent magnet or by passing a current through a coil of wire whose axis coincides with the beam axis.
