The transport ac loss Q of an elliptical thin strip of critical current I c with a power-law relation E J n µ is accurately computed as a function of current amplitude I m and frequency f. The resulting Q I m ( ) is normalized to q i m ( ) following the Norris critical-state formula, and converted to q i m ( ) * * at a critical frequency f c based on a transport scaling law. Having a set of q i m ( ) * * at several values of n as a base, a general expression of q i n , m ( ) * * is obtained, which can be used to easily calculate q i m ( ) for any practical purposes.
