In this paper we consider a thermistor problem with a current source, i.e., a nonlocal boundary condition. The electric potential is unknown on part of the boundary, but the current through it is known. We apply a decomposition technique and transform the equation satisfied by the potential into two elliptic problems with usual boundary conditions. The unique solvability of the initial boundary value problem is achieved.
Keywords: existence, uniqueness., current driven, Obstacle thermistor problem.
