Abstract
Arthritis, the illness of the bones, is one of the diseases which especially attack the knee joint. Magnetic stimulation is a very promising treatment, although not very clear as to its physical background. Deals with the mathematical simulation of the therapeutical technique, i.e. the magnetic stimulation method. Considers the low‐frequency magnetic field. To consider eddy currents one uses the pair of potentials: electric vector potential T→ and magnetic scalar potential Ω . Since the problem is of low frequency and the electric conductivity of biological tissues is very small, consideration of electric vector potential only is quite satisfactory.
