mahlon Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi,Supposing i wanted to make an inductor which is basically a solenoid. It's value should be 4.6H. Its core is air. The solenoid length should be 0.05m. Its crossectional area should be 1.78e-03m2. What formula can i use and what would the number of turns be?

indulis Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 You want to make a 4.6H air core inductor??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloki Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 You can make such inductor. core diameter=50mmcoil length=50mmcoil depth=40mmwire diameter=0.5mmwire length=2500mnumber of turns=9000wire resistance=216ohmsUse CALCOIL program which can be downloaded here:http://www.elektroda.net/download/file654.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 :)i have the inductor calculator to and it will tell you all you need to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prateeksikka Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 WELL as of i know there is a big difference between solenoid and inductor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Any coil is an inductor but in the case of a solenoid there could be a difference if the solenoid has a moving core (anchor) inside. When the core moves the inductance value changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yes, that’s exactly right and contactors, some relays, electro magnets, solenoid valves, solenoids that move things inside a VCR,s and many other kinds of equipment etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
