Calculating Current Density Distribution in Proximity Wires

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenge of calculating current density distribution in two closely positioned wires carrying alternating currents, particularly considering the influence of eddy currents. The user seeks guidance on the appropriate formulation for this problem, questioning the applicability of Maxwell's equations and the necessary boundary conditions. They acknowledge the need for a numerical approach but are unsure how to correctly define the problem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately visualizing current density distribution for their specific scenario. Overall, expert advice on problem formulation and numerical methods is requested.

Hello.

I'm floundering.

What is the right way to formulate a problem of calculating the current density distribution across the wire's cross-setion, taking into account eddy currents? If the Maxwell's equations are not the way to go, what is? What should be the boundary conditions or any other restrictions placed on the solution?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks big time. That's not altogether what I meant though. I know quite a few things about skin effect, but I have a rather specific problem in mind.

I have two wires in close proximity carrying currents at the same frequency. I need to visualise the current density distribution in each of them. It is quite obvious that I have to do it numerically but I cannot really put my finger on how to pose the problem correctly.

I would really appreciate your help, it is important.

Thank you.
 
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
