Hi everybody,
I need to indirectly measure the high voltage across a wire, which is one of the leads to a spark gap. I ran the wire through a coil inductor(air core) and measured the voltage across the coil leads with an oscilloscope when i get the spark. I also connected a resistor in series with the coil wires and measured the voltage across the resistor with the oscilloscope to get the current (all as a function of time). Can I calculate the voltage and current across the high voltage wire using the dimensions and electrical properties of the components?(inductance,etc). thanks
