Abstract :
The authors compare the results of the computation of induced magnetic fields with the finite-element method when using three different types of variables: the magnetic fields at the nodes of the mesh, and the projections onto the edges of the magnetic field at the middle of the edges or of the fields at the vertices of the edges. Numerical results are presented
