ABSTRACT

Solutions are obtained for the spatial variation of electrical resistivity of cylindrical and rectangular conductors such that the magnetic field external to the conductor maintains a constant spatial variation as the magnetic field diffuses into the conductor. Practical implementations of the ideal solution are described.
