Summary This paper, mainly of a review nature, examines some of the numerical methods that have been proposed for solving problems of electromagnetic induction in the oceans. An iterative method for dealing with inducing fields of low frequency is convergent and has been successfully programmed by Bullard & Parker for the real oceans. Difficulties exist in some of the proposed methods for dealing with high frequency inducing fields, but several recently proposed iterative methods appear to be convergent. One such method is applied to a specific (non‐axisymmetric) problem.
