Abstract :
The relation between the exact theory and Carson´s theory for the fields of straight wires above a homogeneous earth is derived. Sufficient conditions for the validity of Carson´s equations are given. Cases for which Carson´s theory is not valid are discussed. In addition, an image theory useful for magnetic induction problems is given and discussed.
