Pl. Levin et al., ANIMATED ANALYTICAL AND PARTIALLY DISCRETIZED SOLUTIONS TO THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL MAGNETIC DIFFUSION EQUATION, IEEE transactions on education, 36(3), 1993, pp. 310-315
This paper discusses a new educational computer program which takes ad
vantage of the graphical and computational capabilities of personal co
mputers in order to help students visualize the dynamic phenomenon of
magnetic diffusion. The program is capable of animating analytical and
numerical steady-state solutions to a one-dimensional magnetic diffus
ion equation. The analytical solution is straightforwardly found from
phasor analysis, while the numerical solution is calculated via the pa
rtial discretization method.
