Summary. An existing 2‐D integral equation method for modelling electromagnetic induction in a thin sheet at the surface of a uniform half‐space can be generalized to deal with a layered half‐space by the inclusion of an extra term in the integral equation. The results obtained are shown to be in excellent agreement with finite difference solutions to the same modelling problem.
