where LJ denotes the time-derivative and the subscript r 0 stands for derivatives with
respect to Lagrange's variables. For simplicity, we will omit the subscript 0 having
in mind that now r is the Lagrange's variable. We seek for the solution of Eq. ( 11.67 )
in the form
B D cos B 1 .r;t/ O r sin B 2 .r;t/ O
:
(11.68)
Substituting the Eq. ( 11.68 ) into Eq. ( 11.67 ) we come to the following equations for
the unknown functions B 1 and B 2 :

Here the primes denote derivatives with respect to r.
Now we turn to new unknown dimensionless functions f D .B 1 B 2 /=B 0 and

Suppose at the initial time there is a uniform magnetic field B 0 everywhere. The
initial conditions for the functions f and g are as follows then

The normal and tangential components of B have to be continuous at the ball
surface. Considering this requirement and combining Eqs. ( 11.66 ) and ( 11.68 )we
come to the following boundary conditions:

.R 0 ;t/ D 0:

The set of Eqs. ( 11.70 )-( 11.72 ) with initial and boundary conditions ( 11.73 ) and
( 11.74 ) contains only two unknown function. However, we shall demonstrate that
