Abstract

An exact solution is presented of the equations and boundary conditions governing the steady longitudinal motion of a semi-infinite non-conducting plate in an oblique magnetic field. The discussion covers the distortion of the boundary layer, the structure of the induced electric and magnetic fields, the current-density distribution, and the behaviour of the fields near the edge of the plate.
