ElectricCurrentDensity

Type:

1-Tensor, or section

Range:

[v_1, …, v_3]

Default:

-/-

Appearance:

optional

Specifies an electric current density in units amperes per square meter, .

Note

A ElectricCurrentDensity is only definable for a physical domain. So, setting BoundaryId in the parent section is not allowed.

A constant electric current density can be defined by assigning a 3-vector:

# define a constant electric current density
ElectricCurrentDensity = [..., ... , ...]

For more general cases, an electric current density may be given as a section in order to deal with space, time, and parameter dependent definitions:

# define an electric current density as a section
ElectricCurrentDensity {
  Constant {...}
  Python {...}
  LineSource {...}
  PointSource {...}
  ...
}

Field definitions within this section are summed up. Consult the subsequent sections to see which types of field definitions are allowed.
