ON INDUCTION HEATING -- CONDUCTOR EXCITED BY EXTERNAL FIELD

Jaroslav Franek

   Electromagnetic field in a banded strip conductor excited by external AC voltage driven coil is analyzed. Inhomogeneous wave equation describing this axis-symmetrical configuration is deduced and solved to find the induced current density and the directional energy flux density (Poynting vector) in the conductor.

Keywords: induction heating, equivalent induction, Poynting vector
