Abstract: A general theory of electromagnetic induction is developed based on the superposition of electric current filaments. The theory has applications in both geophysical and engineering problems where current sources are used to induce electromagnetic fields in plane layered media. As an example, three-dimensional integral formulae are derived for the source and induced fields of a linear induction motor configuration.
