Show that a uniform magnetic field lJ cannot drop abruptly to zero (as is suggested by the lack of field lines to the right of point a in Fig. 29-89) as one moves perpendicular to lJ, say along the horizontal arrow in the figure. (Hint: Apply Ampere's law to the rectangular path shown by the dashed lines.) In actual magnets, "fringing" of the magnetic field lines always occurs, which means that lJ approaches zero in a gradual manner. Modify the field lines in the figure to indicate a more realistic situation.
