In this paper we extend the recently developed models that predict the magnetic field produced by thermoelectric currents around spherical and cylindrical inclusions to the case of elliptical cross-section cylindrical and spheroidal inclusions. The extra geometrical complications are handled by utilizing already available solutions of similar problems in hydrodynamics and electricity. It is shown that the results reduce to those of the previous models when the aspect ratios of the inclusions equal unities.
