Field Distribution Due to a Circular Current Loop Placed in an Arbitrary Position above a Conducting Plate

The calculation of eddy currents within a conducting slab when the excitation is a circular current loop in an arbitrary position above the slab is examined. The magnetic flux density in regions outside the slab is also determined. The diffusion equation of the magnetic vector potential is written in a coordinate system attached to the geometry of the configuration by using two Dirac functions. The field vectors are expressed as double Fourier integrals.
