Structure of the magnetic field perturbations of a low-frequency dipole by a metallic sphere

The potentials of the magnetic field of a low-frequency magnetic dipole reflected by a sphere are analyzed. It is shown that for short ranges between the dipole and the sphere this field can be described by one potential, where the field is equivalent to the field of a system of dipoles and charges.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 73–77, March, 1976.
