The EM Field of Constant Current Density Distributions in Parallelepiped Regions

John G. Fikioris

Page 1358.

Abstract:

The electromagnetic field vectors {{\overline A, \overline H, \overline E}} arising from a constant current density {{\overline J}} in an electrically small orthogonal parallelepiped region { {\upsilon}} are obtained analytically and exactly, up to order { {(kr)}}^{{4}}, at any point ({ {x, y, z}}) a distance { {r}} from the center of { {\upsilon}}. They are then applied to the solution of an electric field integrodifferential equation (EFIDE) for which the region { {V}} has been divided into small parallelepiped cells. These new results are directly applicable to the evaluation of electromagnetic field interaction with natural media.
