One-dimensional Fredholm integral equations are derived for the tangential field components at the boundary of a conducting medium with constant scalar conductivity and permeability excited by a time-harmonic azimuthal current source. The important special case of a short right circular conducting cylinder (magnetic or nonmagnetic) coaxial with one or more short coils is treated in detail. The explicit form of the, kernels and the numerical solution technique are presented. Numerical results are presented for typical induction heating applications where the load length as well as the coil length are finite. Results are also presented for the magnetostatic problem of finding the demagnetization factors for short magnetic rods. In each case the results are compared with published results and the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach are demonstrated.
