Inductance of Air Core Inductor Calculator Coil32 Coil64 - freeware coil inductance calculating app. I hope, that this small application will help for radio-hobbyists to calculate various inductors. Liked this?The program has additional plugins to calculate another manner of coils.
Fill in the following and click on the Calculate button Note that you can select inches, centimeters and millimeters from the dropdowns below as well and the calculator will convert it to meters internally. In this video I explain the formula for induction in detail, as well as give an example and talk about other factors like coil capacitance, frequency and coupling. The diagram above can be used as a guide for some of the parameters. Here's an inductance calculator that uses the above formula. Note that when doing calculations for a coil with very thin wire as with the crystal radio and the Tesla coil shown above e. If calculating the area using the diameter then include the core's diameter plus the diameter of the wire. If calculating the area using the radius then include the core's radius plus the radius of the wire. The area includes part of the coil, as shown in the diagram above.
And if you're not familiar with the notation 1. The cores for Tesla coil secondary coils are usually plastic, and smaller ones may be cardboard, and therefore count as air core coils. Cores for crystal radio coils are sometimes plastic or cardboard, and therefore are air core coils, and sometimes they're ferrite core. Since it's multiplied by the rest of the formula, that means using those materials will give a higher inductance value. The same goes for ferrite which can have value anywhere from 20 to but if you're at a loss as to what to use then is a rough compromise. Materials like iron and ferrite have higher relative permeabilities in the hundreds and thousands.įor an iron core, a rough number to use is though it really varies depending on the alloy. If it's a hollow cardboard or plastic tube then the cardboard or plastic counts as air and you can use 1. Here we're actually talking about the coil inducing the voltage in itself, which is self-induction, but we'll just say induction. The symbol for inductance is the Henry and the unit is H.
That is called induction and inductance is a value quantifying the ability of the coil to induce that voltage. What is inductance? When electrical current changes as it flows through the wire of a coil, it produces a changing magnetic field that induces produces a voltage, or emf electromotive forcein the wire that opposes the current. Inductance is often what you are trying to achieve when designing a coil i. An inductance calculator is provided below for making it easy. This is also useful is you're going to be using your coil in an LC tank resonant circuit. I've done it for making coils for crystal radios and Tesla coils but it works for any coil that's cylindrical in shape.
