    Well, this isn't the most "physical" example that I've ever put
    together. Planar problems in which the current is not explicitly
    conserved in the solution domain can be less than intuitive. Anyhow, in
    this problem, there's no condition imposed that forces the total current
    to be zero in the aluminum shell. You could think of the aluminum shell
    as being "grounded at +- infinity, so a big net current actually flows in
    the aluminum part in this problem. (If you are twisted, you could think
    of this problem as modeling only one section of a bigger domain, where the
    "rest of the domain" could be reconstructed by thinking about the image
    current distribution that would be required outside the solution domain to
    enforce A=0 on the boundary.) I probably should have made a coax cable or
    something, constraining the current to be +i in the middle, and -i on the
    outside--this would have been a bit more intuitive.

    You 3.4a is the msdos version of quickfield. I tend to use it, rather
    than the win9x/nt version 4.2 because the 3.4a version lets you have a few
    more nodes in the student version. You can get both student versions off
    of the quickfield website. Specifically, see
    http://www.quickfield.com/free_soft.htm There's a drop-list on this page
    that lets you pick between the 3.4a and 4.2 versions. Incidentally,
    several demo versions of various other commercial programs are linked off
    my page at http://members.aol.com/gmagnetics/links.htm
