Self-inductance of a toroid with a rectangular cross section

AI Thread 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.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
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...
