Spherical and cylindrical dipole fields and the equipotential lines orthogonal to the lines of flux are described here in terms of various parameters. Differential distances along and across the lines of flux are derived. The “breathing balloon” concept is introduced by using a method of increasing the shell parameter L by an increment Δ L . The different parameters describing the dipole field are given in a concise form.
