    Induction heating modeling in Ansys

    Hi I'm trying to preform a simple model of a ferromagnetic bar which has a coil wrapped around it. The bar has a 4×4 cm base and is 15 cm tall, the coil has an inside radius of 29 mm and outside radius 30 mm and a height of 10 cm. The goal is to find the eddy currents in the bar, generated...

    How Do You Calculate Magnetic Flux from a Nearby Spark?

    If I wanted to know how to find the magnetic flux through a loop, I'd need to know the current flowing near it. If that current is in the form of a spark, how do I represent that? The spark is nearly instantaneous, and I've got no idea how to determine the number of charges which flowed...

    Why is a high permeability desirable for induction heating?

    The resistance per unit length of a conducting wire is proportional to the square root of the ratio of permeability to conductivity. The power generated as heat may be expressed as I-squared x R: also as V-squared / R. In induction, the EMF induced is determined by the rate of...
