geoana.em.static.CircularLoopWholeSpace

class geoana.em.static.CircularLoopWholeSpace(radius=np.float64(0.5641895835477563), current=1.0, **kwargs)

Class for a circular loop of static current in a wholespace.

The CircularLoopWholeSpace class is used to analytically compute the fields and potentials within a wholespace due to a circular loop carrying static current.

Parameters:

currentfloat

Electrical current in the loop (A). Default is 1.

radiusfloat

Radius of the loop (m). Default is \(\pi^{-1/2}\) so that the loop has a default dipole moment of 1 \(A/m^2\).

Attributes

current	Current in the loop in Amps
epsilon	Dielectric permittivity in F/m
location	Location of the dipole
mu	Magnetic permeability in H/m
orientation	Orientation of the dipole as a normalized vector
radius	Radius of the loop in meters
rho	Electrical resistivity in Ohm m
sigma	Electrical conductivity in S/m

Methods

cross_orientation(xyz)	Cross products between a gridded set of vectors and the orientation of the source.
distance(xyz)	Scalar distance from dipole to a set of gridded xyz locations
dot_orientation(vecs)	Dot product between the orientation of the source and a gridded set of vectors.
magnetic_field(xyz[, coordinates])	Compute the magnetic field for the current loop in a wholespace.
magnetic_flux_density(xyz[, coordinates])	Compute the magnetic flux density for the current loop in a wholespace.
vector_distance(xyz)	Vector distance to a set of gridded xyz locations.
vector_potential(xyz[, coordinates])	Compute the vector potential for the static loop in a wholespace.
