Magnetic scalar potential of a cylinder magnet

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Drawing of a homogeneously magnetized cylindrical magnet with exactly computed magnetic field lines. The cylinder has the proportions R/L=1/2. The magnetic north pole is aligned on top and the magnetic south pole on the bottom, with magnetization along the cylinder axis. The magnetic scalar potential 𝜓 is shown in the background from positive (fuchsia) through zero (yellow) to negative (aqua) together with uniformely spaced equipotential lines. Note that the field lines follow the gradient of the scalar potential.
