Abstract

We present a new complete asymptotic expansion for the low‐frequency time‐harmonic magnetic field perturbation caused by the presence of a conducting (permeable) object as its size tends to zero for the eddy current regime of Maxwell's equations. The new asymptotic expansion allows the characte...
