Self-inductance of a toroid with a rectangular cross section

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the self-inductance of a toroid with a rectangular cross-section, specifically addressing the interpretation of "the windings are seen as a thin homogeneous current layer around the core." This implies that the number of turns, N, can be approximated as N=1. The original values for the number of turns and current are denoted as Norg and Iorg, respectively. In the simplified model, the approximated values are Napp=1 and Iapp=Iorg * Norg. This approximation stems from the coil's structure resembling the thread on a screw, complicating direct calculations.

I have found answers on how to calculate the self-inductance of toroid of rectangular cross section, however my question says that "The winding are seen as a thin homogeneous currentlayer around the core" (excuse the translation). What does that mean for N? Does it mean N=1?

Yes.
Say that the original values are: N = Norg , I = Iorg.
In the approximated model the values become:
Napp = 1 , Iapp = Iorg * Norg.
The reason for this approximation is that the coil is formed like the thread on a screw, which make calculations difficult.
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
