Subject: Secondary Coil Resonant Frequency?
Someone asked the following question a while back, and there was no
satisfactory answer. The question was: How do you calculated the
resonant freq. of a secondary, with and without the toroid?
The TESLA-EQ.TXT has a formula, but just calculates the 1/4 wavelength
frequency that corresponds to the length of wire used. Does this number
have any value to us at all?
It seems like finding the self inductance of the coil and the
self-capacitance and using these values to calculate the frequency by
1/(2pi*sqrt(LC)) would give the correct results, and such calculations
could also be made to include the toroid.
But, how do you find these two values by calculation alone (before
building the thing)??? Do you have to resort to a messy Biot-Savart
calculation, or is there a quick approximation?
Could someone give us solved example of how it is really done??? (that's
a challenge!)
