Abstract :
In this paper, new expressions are presented for three-dimensional magnetic-field calculation for a massive disk currying radial currents. These expressions have been obtained in analytical form as functions of incomplete elliptical integrals (of the first, second, and third kind) and an integral to be solved numerically. This approach enables one to easily calculate the magnetic field everywhere in space at reduced computational cost. In addition, it can be employed to calculate the magnetic field in conductor disk configurations involving complicated geometry as well as to evaluate their self and mutual inductance
