Abstract An alternative and somewhat systematic definition of the vector spherical harmonics, in analogy with the commonly used scalar spherical harmonics, is presented. The new set of vector spherical harmonics satisfies the properties of orthogonality and complete-ness. and is compared with other existing definitions of vector spherical harmonics. Some applications to prob-lems in magnetostatics are illustrated. 1.
