Abstract :
This paper presents a new computational method of magnetic field in the air created by the known current density distribution in coils or solid conductor. The method consists of decoupling three components of the vector field T0. The method is faster and requires less memory than the classical approach, used in the magnetostatic and magnetodynamic finite-element formulations
