Abstract :
Distributions of the current and the surface fields close to the corners of a conducting strip with rectangular cross-section are investigated by an accurate and efficient moment method. The strip is made of either a normal conductor or a superconducting material. Based upon this study, a simple graphical procedure for a rough estimation of the finite maxima of the current densities at the edges (corners) is presented
