Abstract
It is shown that the inhomogeneous demagnetizing field occurring in uniformly magnetized, nonellipsoidal samples can be described by a generalized demagnetizing factor. The demagnetizing factor is a tensor and, in general, is different in different parts of the sample. The diagonal sum of this tensor field is unity at all points inside the sample and zero at all points outside the sample.
