Abstract

We show that the widely used density dependent magnetic field prescriptions,\nnecessary to account for the variation of the field intensity from the crust to\nthe core of neutron stars violate one of the Maxwell equations. We estimate how\nstrong the violation is when different equations of state are used and check\nfor which cases the pathological problem can be cured.\n
