Description
We examine solutions to the field equations for an SU2 gauge theory with spherical symmetry. We find the nonlinear equations governing the behavior of gauge-invariant projections of electric and magnetic field strengths. New solutions are found by linearizing the equations around the simple ''vacuum'' solution and around the Wu-Yang monopole. The variational approach used is well suited to the study of small fluctuations around more complicated starting points
