Abstract
The analysis is carried out for the problem of a current-carrying coil in the neighborhood of a spherical body whose conductivity and magnetic permeability differ from the surroundings. The case is considered in detail where the frequency is low enough so that the primary field of the coil can be derived from a magnetic scalar potential. The secondary magnetic fields due to the sphere are then derived. The "in-phase" and "quadrature" components of the secondary field are discussed numerically and illustrated by graphs. The results have application to electrical prospecting.
