The lower limit of the magnetic field an; other related quantities are calculated for 12 radio galaxies and 25 clusters of galaxies using X-ray and low frequency data. The magnetic field in the extended lobes of radio galaxies is larger the 10 to the -6th, and thus radio galaxies emit few X-rays through the inverse Compton effect. The sample of distant clusters is biased towards high radio luminosity and gives results comparable to those obtained for radio galaxies. In steep spectrum clusters, the equipartition magnetic field is the same as that in normal clusters, although the lower limit of the magnetic field has a rather high value and seems to increase with the spectral index.
