Abstract

Image theory for dc problems involving a current source in an anisotropic half-space bounded by either a perfectly magnetically conducting (PMC) or electrically conducting (PEC) plane is being used to get the solution for the potential in integral form. A dipole approximation for a small sphere is developed
