Re: AC coil resistance equation



The publication "Reference Data for Radio Engineers", now probably
"..for Electronics Engineers" gives some useful information on the
subject of skin effect and Q of solenoids. The book used to be published
by ITT and is now published by Howard B. Sams.  If I can think of it
I'll scan the relevant pages and offer them here.  I've used this
reference to estimate Q of many different coils, and it gets you closer
to the ball park than trying to use formulae for AC resistance such as
those given in the various editions of "Radiotron Designers' Handbook".
