Euler potentials and Magnetic fields

Abstract

It is known that the cross product of gradients of two scalars, the Euler potentials (EP), may represent magnetic fields lines. We examine the utility of such potential in the broader magneto-genesis and dynamo theories, and find that a reinterpretation of the potentials offer a new understanding of the role EP may play in the evolution of magnetic fields.
