geoana.em.static.PointCurrentWholeSpace

class geoana.em.static.PointCurrentWholeSpace(rho, current=1.0, location=None)

Class for a point current in a wholespace.

The PointCurrentWholeSpace class is used to analytically compute the potentials, current densities and electric fields within a wholespace due to a point current.

Parameters:

rhofloat

Resistivity in the point current (\(\Omega \cdot m\)).

currentfloat

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

locationarray_like, optional

Location at which we are observing in 3D space (m). Default is (0, 0, 0).

Attributes

current	Current in wire (A)
epsilon	Dielectric permittivity in F/m
location	Location of observer in 3D space.
mu	Magnetic permeability in H/m
n_segments	Number of wire segments
nodes	Nodes defining the segments of current-carrying wire segments; close the loop if inductive.
rho	Electrical resistivity in Ohm m
sigma	Electrical conductivity in S/m

Methods

current_density(xyz)	Current density for a point current in a wholespace.
electric_field(xyz)	Electric field for a point current in a wholespace.
magnetic_field(xyz)	Compute the magnetic field for the static current-carrying wire segments.
magnetic_flux_density(xyz)	Compute the magnetic flux density for the static current-carrying wire segments.
