Hi Lydia,
It sounds like you are only 200k up the road from me... (Perth 
Western Australia) with the same ISP.
I need some background information.
Doctor of what?
Has he any conventional Tesla coil or high frequency experience. Has 
he seen the Scitech Tesla coil in Perth (I upgraded this one in 2003)
What is he actually trying to do?
You sound like you are describing inductance with self capacitance. I 
have no idea how you might use this to advantage to make a Tesla coil 
at least not with the aim of impressive sparks.
The ferromagnet sounds like a ferrite core which to be pedantic makes 
it not a Tesla coil as these are air cored.

These questions probably are best answered by the good doctor himself 
either on this forum or to me directly off list.

Cheers Peter
