I've been working with coils for awhile now, but am still just a
beginner's student in EE and am working to understand the circuit of
the coil, but am running into some bumps in the road so I am
wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. For
brevity's sake, I won't rattle off too much off what I'm stuck on.
I'm just asking the "whys?" of what is going on.
First, I don't quite understand how the i(t)=C(dv/dt) can get so
high (ie hundreds of amps). I also don't fully understand the nature
of the 60hz to high frequency tank circuit.
What's throwing me off is how I'm looking at the circuit in the
manner of an LC, the cap/indu reactance, and etc., I'm trying to
piece things together, but they don't seem to fit, especially when I
add the spark gap. The math equations keep forming odd numbers, such
as 13269 amps! I'm not trying derive everything, but just again, see
how things (mathematically) fit together.
I don't want the theory "spoon fed" to me, just if someone could
start pointing me in the right direction as to what I should
research. Thanks in advance!
