Just curious, A core's AL value can be used to determine the inductance of a coil using the formula L=N^2 x AL, but....
What determines the AL value of a core?
I would think it has something to do with the cores permeability and area, but when a gap is introduced the AL value also changes.
What factors determine a core's AL value and what are the relationships between them?
Thanks in advance, this is really got me curious
