ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION IN A UNIFORM SEMI-INFINITE CONDUCTOR
( Imperial College London )
A systematic treatment of the problem of the induction of currents in a uniform semi-infinite conductor by external magnetic or electric fields is given, attention being drawn to the complementary nature of the magnetic and electric cases. A one-dimensional heat flow analogue is then derived which enables the familiar methods developed in connexion with heat conduction to be applied directly to the solution of corresponding problems in electromagnetic induction.
