Abstract :
Various magnetic vector potential formulations for the eddy-current problem are reviewed. The uniqueness of the vector potential is given special attention. The aim is to develop a numerically stable finite-element scheme that performs well at low and high frequencies, does not require an unduly high number of degrees of freedom, and is capable of treating multiple connected conductors.<>
