Abstract
A dyke of sulfide ore may be geophysically prospected by observing its electromagnetic response to a slowly oscillating magnetic dipole source. An excellent first approximation of the fields generated is obtained by considering the idealized case of a dyke of infinite conductivity and vanishing thickness in a vacuum. Surprisingly, this idealized problem can be solved exactly in terms of a newly discovered Green’s function for Laplace’s equation (in three dimensions) which is simply expressed in closed form. The magnetic scalar potential and the magnetic field are given for final results.
