Solve a potential problem to determine current density in wire:

on the domain \(\Omega_{\text{coil}}\): \begin{eqnarray*} j & = & \sigma \nabla \Phi \\ \operatorname{div} j & = & 0 \end{eqnarray*} port boundary conditions: \begin{eqnarray*} \Phi & = & 0 \qquad \qquad \text{on } \Gamma_{\text{out}}, \\ j_n & = & \frac{1}{|S|} \quad \qquad \text{on } \Gamma_{\text{in}}, \end{eqnarray*} and \(j_n=0\) else

current source is current from potential equation:
