An electric lamp and a candle produce equal illuminance at a photometer screen when they are placed at 80cm and 20cm from the screen respectively.

Magnetic scalar potential is defined as$\text{U}(\overrightarrow{\text{r}_2})-\text{U}(\overrightarrow{\text{r}_1})=-\int\limits^{\vec{\text{r}}_2}_{\vec{\text{r}_1}} \vec{\text{B}}.\text{d}\vec{\text{l}}.$
Apply this equation to a closed curve enclosing a long atraicht wire. The RHS of the above equation is then $-{\mu}_\text{o} \text{ i}$ by Ampere's law. We see that $\text{U}(\vec{\text{r}_2})\neq\text{U}(\vec{\text{r}_1})$ even when $\vec{\text{r}_2}=\vec{\text{r}_1}.$Can we have a magnetic acalar potential in this case?
