@crutschow to quote you "An ampere-turn, as the name implies, is simply one ampere going through one coil turn. It is independent of the wire size or the coil diameter. Thus, for example, two amperes flowing through 100 turns would be 200 ampere-turns."
OK, I should just take that at face value which only leaves out that it is in a vacuum. Since this is an electromagnetive force or also stated as magnetomotive force I am confused as to the "independent of the wire size or the coil diameter" part. Not so much the diameter but size and spacing between loops (to be specific length ie circumference). How does this not affect the force generated? The Ampere has no length associated with it but Turns would seem to imply a circumference length. It seems obvious to me that the longer the wire the more force being generated? I don't have a problem with the density of force/area but the actual force itself? I know this is going to get into some math above my ability but an explanation I can understand would be helpful. Thx Sam
