Abstract
A solution is presented for the boundary value problem posed by a current-carrying coil of arbitrary shape in air above the plane surface of a conductor of semi-infinite extent. Two special cases are also treated: a circularly-symmetric coil at an arbitrary tilt angle with respect to the surface normal, and an infinitesimal coil, a magnetic dipole, also at an arbitrary tilt angle. Numerical results are presented for dipole orientations parallel and perpendicular to the surface.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
