Homework Statement
Why does having an electric current in Perfect Magnetic Conductor (PMC) violate current conservation?
Relevant Equations
Boundary conditions
Hello,
I need to know why having an electric current in Prefect Magnetic Conductor(PMC) violate current conservation. Based on the boundary conditions or lorentz force or ..., I couldn't be successful to prove that surface current can violate current conservation. In the textbooks, they mentioned the electric current should be zero but none of them explain it.

Thanks

What type of current conservation are you talking about? Are you saying that for some volume, ##I_{in} \neq I_{out}## ?

Thanks berkeman,
Regarding this web page, I am curious to know why the electric currents should be zero.
In addition, which parameter in PMC is infinite( for example for perfect electric conductor(PEC) the conductivity (sigma) is infinite).
