Electromagnetic fields of energized conductors

Abstract

The electric field due to single-frequency current distribution in a buried horizontal rod with current leakage along its length and at its ends is computed for observation points at the soil-surface for low and high frequencies. The computation results are based on a general formulation which permits observation points in air or soil for an arbitrary network of energized conductors. The contribution of in-air and in-soil thin-wire conductors to electromagnetic fields is represented by path integrals.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
