Jackson problem 5.4: Magnetic induction in a current-free region

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around solving Jackson problem 5.4, which involves magnetic induction in a current-free region. Participants are exploring the application of Taylor series expansion to the problem, questioning how to properly expand the terms b0, b1, etc., which are not differential terms. A suggested approach is to utilize the equation b(z) = Bz(0,z) for the solution. Additionally, it is recommended to take the divergence of the terms to manipulate the ##b_{n}## terms algebraically. This approach aims to clarify the relationship between the magnetic induction components in the context of the problem.

I think that is taylor series expansion, How that can be expanded right that? even b0, b1 ... is not a differential term.

The solution just use b(z) = Bz(0,z)

The solution just use b(z) = Bz(0,z)

Hint: Try taking the divergence and see what you can do with the ##b_{n}## terms algebraically.
