Abstract
The inclusion of eddy currents into micromagnetic programs is important for the proper analysis of dynamic effects in conducting magnetic media. This subject has received little attention in the past although it can cause significant errors in device calculations. This paper introduces a computational test bed for eddy current calculations and discusses some interesting analytic cases in this simplified geometry.
