19. which leads to the result for the vector potential (Formula presented) of the magnetic field (Formula presented): (Formula presented) (Formula presented) (Formula presented). Putting (Formula presented), and noticing that (Formula presented), that is, (Formula presented), we have (Formula presented). Using definition (9) for the Reynolds number, we recover (1), with (Formula presented) obeying Eq. (15).
