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.
