This paper is concerned with the analysis and numerical investigations for the optimal control of first-order magneto-static equations. Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are established through a rigorous Hilbert space approach. Then, on the basis of the optimality system, we prove functional a posteriori error estimators for the optimal control, the optimal state, and the adjoint state. 3D numerical results illustrating the theoretical findings are presented.
