Abstract
Methods of representing segmented conductors in 2 dimensions are compa red with 3 dimensional calculations, showing good agreement for a simp le problem. The calculation of power dissipation is improved for the 2 dimensional approximation by adjustment of the material resistivity t o compensate for three dimensional effects. The limitations of the 2 d imensional analysis are demonstrated using, as an example, an inductio n heating crucible.
