Abstract

An edge element is applied to the analysis of the electric current distribution on a thin conducting plate. The normal component of the surface current density across the edge of the triangular element is chosen as the unknown variable preserving the normal continuity. By using Galerkin´s weighted residual method, the formulation of the analysis is done for the electric field on the thin conductor surface taking account of the eddy current and the displacement current. In addition, the proposed method is applied to simple computation models in order to verify the applicability of the method
