conical coils
1> good question, sounds like a homework problem for a MIT student :? . Consulted my physics book to review the basics, conical inductors (or capacitors) weren't covered, no surprise.
Gary, nice website, I'll have to check out the rest. "just happen to have a calculator for conical inductors lying around here somewhere..."
benefits - 1) reduced capacitance at the expense of larger size 2) better structural strength for vertical forms, anything else?
What are some applications of conical inductors where the standard cylindrical kind wouldn't perform acceptably well?
