Geometry of coil:
1 Circular solenoidal current sheet
2 Straight round wire
3 N-turn circular loop
4 Circular toroid, circular winding
5 Multi-layer square solenoid (low precision)
6 Circular torus ring, rectangular winding
7 Multi-layer circular solenoid
8 Single-layer circular solenoid of round wire
9 Single-layer square solenoid
10 Wire gauge calculation
Choose geometry (1) ?
Select the desired coil geometry from the menu. Enter mean
diameter, length, and thickness of winding, and total number of
turns, as prompted. The program will display the inductance in
henrys, then loop back for more input. "Mean diameter" is the
arithmetic average of the inner and outer diameters of the
winding; for a single layer coil it is measured to the center of
the wire. "Thickness," for a single layer coil, is the
wire diameter (see below for the correction for empty space
in the winding).
