- Main costs are concentrated on the coarsest level
- Variance is significantly reduced by the multilevel approach
- Method is effective for electromagnetism problems with uncertainties

## Abstract

The multilevel Monte Carlo method is applied to an academic example in the field of electromagnetism. The method exhibits a reduced variance by assigning the samples to multiple models with a varying spatial resolution. For the given example it is found that the main costs of the method are spent on the coarsest level.
