ON THE THEORY OF KIRCHHOFF'S METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY.
Abstract
A measure of unification is achieved for the purpose of analyzing the steady current flows through elongated cylinders of general section. These are activated by a pair of thin electrodes on the end faces and are relevant to a scheme of Kirchhoff for determining the electrical conductivity of homogeneous materials, and is manifest by the central role of a harmonic Green's function which satisfies a Neumann condition on the boundary of an infinitely long duct whose section duplicates that of the appropriate cylinder. The utility of a Green's function formalism is brought out with specific numerical details in the respective cases of circular and square cylinder section. (Author)
