The magnetic field outside an isolated axon is calculated using transmembrane potential data to specify the boundary conditions to a solution of Laplace''s equation. The contribution to the magnetic field from the current inside the membrane is 2 orders of magnitude larger than that from the external current. The contribution from current within the membrane is negligible. Comparisons are made between waveforms calculated for a crayfish lateral axon and those measured for a frog sciatic nerve. The magnetic field measured outside nerves can be used to determine their internal current without puncturing the nerve membrane.
