Magnetostatics is the study of magnetic fields in systems where the electric currents are steady (do not change with time). It is the magnetic analogue of electrostatics, where the charges are stationary.
In magnetostatics, we analyze the magnetic field produced by steady currents and the forces exerted by these fields on moving charges and magnetic materials. This field forms the foundation for understanding electromagnetism and has numerous practical applications.
