While a short inductor can be modeled as a lumped load, that doesn't work well in cases like this where the current changes significantly from one end of the coil to the other due to radiation. The coil has to be modeled as a helix. ======================================= The non-uniform current does not arise from radiation but from the distributed capacitance of the wire turns on the helix to its surroundings. Distributed inductance and capacitance of the helix behave as a short transmission line and there is a corresponding phase shift between one end and the other in addition to the non-uniform current distribution. The effects can be estimated by approximate calculations with an adequate degree of accuracy but it requires the right type of computer program (which probably doesn't exist) to provide exact answers. ---- Reg. |
