Magnetic Scalar Potential

In MKS, magnetic field must satisfy the Maxwell equation

(1)

where is the permittivity of free space. If electric fields are not present or are slowly varying, displacement current can be ignored, then

(2)

If additionally there is almost no external current, then

(3)

So, to a good approximation,

(4)
