Abstract

This paper deals with Maxwell's equations in a quasi-stationary electromagnetic field subject to the effects of temperature. This model is encountered in the penetration of a magnetic field in substances where the electrical conductivity depends on the temperature. Similar phenomena also occur in some industrial problems such as the thermistor. Taking the effect of Joule heating into the consideration, we obtain a strongly coupled nonlinear system. Global solvability is established for this system.
