  • Abstract
    The well-known problem of the field produced by a magnetic line dipole on the surface of a lossy conductor is investigated. Suppose \\omega is the frequency of the wave, \\mu the magnetic permeability, and \\sigma the conductivity of the conductor. If M is the absolute value of the ratio of the actual field to the free space field, then it is found that M has a maximum value 1.55 at a distance r from the line dipole given by r = 0.88\\sigma (\\omega ^{2}c\\mu)^{-1} .
