ABSTRACT
As in the first edition, the central focus of this book is on a macroscopic description
of superconductors based on Maxwel l ' s equations. This description is used to
develop exact expressions for the power and energy loss percycle, and approximate
evaluations of the loss expressions are given for various problems. Most, but not
all, of the problems are concerned with ac loss in a wire or "slab" subjected to a
transverse applied magnetic held.
