Diffusion of Pulsed Currents in Conductors

The density distribution and the equivalent depth of penetration of pulsed currents produced by a plane wave incident normally upon a plane conductor are investigated. In particular the cases i(t)=I0p(t), [I0/(t)12]p(t), I0e−αtp(t), where p(t)=U(t)[minus]U(t[minus]T0), are considered.
