I require a core which does not have a uniform cross sectional area.
Ultimately i want to be able to determine the step response of the RL circuit. But i'm very rusty on my circuit theory.
All values are up in the air at the moment, i just need direction in how to design the core, windings etc.
If one can picture a rectangular section core (assume 20.0mm thick x 60.0mm wide radially in a C shape, then have a straight length around 100mm (20x60), this horse shoe section would have the coil winding. Then I want to taper the ends and combine the two ends of the horse shoe, so that there is a complete ring now with a narrow bridge of still 20.0 thick, but now only around 4.0mm wide (i want to achieve saturation in this narrow area).
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to mathematically draw up this simple circuit? Work out inductance, and therefore step response?
