Field outside a ferrite cored coil

In summary, the field outside a coil is determined by the current flowing through the coil and is not affected by the permeability of any surrounding material. However, in a two coil communication system, the mutual inductance is influenced by both the inductance values and the coupling factor. This means that the field at the secondary coil location may be partially influenced by the primary coil's inductance, which is proportional to the permeability of any surrounding ferrite material.

The field outside a coil is given by
5E%7B3%2F2%7D%7D%5Chat%7B%5Cmathbf%7Bz%7D%7D+%5C+%5C+%5C+%5C+%5C+%287%29&bg=eedbbd&fg=000000&s=0.png


I notice permeability of vacuum in the expression, and this makes sense since we are evaluating the field in space.
Is there any effect to the coil having a ferrite core? Looks like there should not be (again the field is evaluated in space).
However, looking at a two coil communication system the mutual inductance is proportional to BOTH inductance values , primary and secondary , and the coupling factor. So it would seem the field at the secondary coil location is at least partially influenced by the primary coil's inductance which is proportional to the ferrite permeability.

If so, how would I show that in the expression ? I'm not sure if this is correct. The field outside a coil is determined by the current flowing through the coil, and is not influenced by the permeability of any material surrounding the coil. The magnetic field around a coil of wire can be determined using Ampere's law. The permeability of the medium will affect the magnetic field within the coil, but not the field outside.
 

What is a ferrite cored coil?

A ferrite cored coil is a type of coil that uses a core made of ferrite material, which is a type of magnetic material. This core helps to enhance the inductance and efficiency of the coil.

How does a ferrite cored coil generate a magnetic field?

A ferrite cored coil generates a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. The ferrite core enhances this magnetic field by providing a path for the magnetic flux to follow, increasing the strength of the field.

What factors affect the strength of the magnetic field outside a ferrite cored coil?

The strength of the magnetic field outside a ferrite cored coil is affected by several factors, including the number of turns in the coil, the amount of current flowing through the coil, and the permeability of the ferrite core.

How does the shape of a ferrite cored coil affect its external magnetic field?

The shape of a ferrite cored coil can affect its external magnetic field in several ways. A larger coil will typically produce a stronger magnetic field, while a coil with a narrower diameter will have a more focused magnetic field. Additionally, the orientation of the coil (vertical or horizontal) can also affect the direction and strength of the magnetic field.

What are some applications of ferrite cored coils?

Ferrite cored coils have many practical applications, including in transformers, inductors, and electromagnets. They are also commonly used in electronic devices such as radios, televisions, and computer equipment for their ability to efficiently generate and control magnetic fields.
