Abstract :
In the above communication, Merry, Hale, and Zervas proposed two eddy-current models of seed implant heating. Their theoretical calculations and experimental observations showed the observed heating falls somewhere between the two models discussed. I wish to note some corrections to the theoretical results which will clearly delineate the applicability of the skin effect model and the inadequacies of the total penetration model.
