Excess charge in inductor due to selfinductance

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the excess charge distribution in a 100 mH single-layer inductor with a 30 Hz voltage of 10 V is complex and not commonly needed. The focus should be on determining the current through the inductor, which is more straightforward. The frequency is crucial for these calculations. The dynamic charge distribution occurs not only on the wire's surface but also within the copper's volume. This topic may touch on unresolved issues in physics regarding charge distribution in inductors.

How does one calculate an excess charge distribution across 100 mH single layer inductor with 30 Hz voltage at amplitude of 10 V ?

You probably don't want to do that. The charge distribution will be much too hard to calculate, and will also be rarely used for anything. Generally you want to know the current throught the inductor. You will certainly need the frequency for this.

I need the charge peek value... Current is simple to calculate... As I understand the dynamic charge distribution is not only on the surface of the wire but also in the volume of copper..
 
Looks as if this is one of the unsolved problems in physics or is it?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
