The Logical Basis of Electrical Circuit Theory

TLDR
The theory of circuit theory is essentially essentially of static states as discussed by the authors, and Voltages across all circuit components, including inductors, transformers, generators and others, are differences in potential, traceable to Coulomb forces and obeying Poisson's equation.
Abstract
Two assumptions underlie circuit theory: infinite speed of propagation of force and existence at all times of equilibrium in matter. The theory is therefore essentially of static states. Voltages across all circuit components, including inductors, transformers, generators and others, are differences in potential, traceable to Coulomb forces and obeying Poisson's equation.

The Electric Field in Maxwell's Equations

TL;DR: The field E in Maxwell's equation is limited to induction and Coulomb force as mentioned in this paper, and it does not extend to all phenomena that are included in E of Ohm's law, J = σE.

Electromagnetic theory and the foundations of electric circuit theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the foundation of electric circuit theory from the standpoint of the fundamental equations of electromagnetic theory and a derivation of the former from the latter is made, in the course of which the assumptions, approximations and restrictions tacitly involved in the equations of circuit theory are explicitly stated.
