Electromagnet construction and off-axis field calculation with iron core

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating off-axis magnetic fields for multiple current-carrying loops with a soft iron core. The original resource used for calculations is noted, and there's a query about incorporating the iron core into the existing equations. It is suggested that the magnetic field inside the loop can be adjusted by multiplying by the permeability constant when an iron core is present. Additionally, if the core is cylindrical and the coil has sufficient turns, it will magnetize the core, producing a field similar to that of a cylindrical bar magnet outside the coil. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate electromagnetic field calculations.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any sources for off-axis point calculation for multiple current carrying loops that contain a soft iron core.

I have been using this resource so far and I can figure out how to include multiple loops. How would I approach these calculations with an iron core inside of the loop?

EDIT: the resource is http://www.netdenizen.com/emagnet/offaxis/iloopoffaxis.htm

In the off-axis calculation it uses the original B which would be inside of 1 loop of wire. So I'm wondering if adding an iron core to the center would be the equivalent to multiplying the entire equation by the permeability constant?

Is the core cylindrical? If so, and if your coil has enough turns, it will magnetize the core and the field outside will resemble that from a cylindrical bar magnet.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.)
