A new method for calculating inductances is presented. The method results in analytically simple expressions that replace the traditional tables and working formulae. Moreover, it overcomes the diverging self-inductances of thin wires.
In this work we treat a resistive toroidal conductor carrying a steady azimuthal current. We calculate the electric potential everywhere in space. We also present the electric field inside and outside the toroid and the surface charge distribution along the conductor. We compare our theoretical result with Jefimenko's experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
