I work in low temperature physics, and as part of my cell I have an inductor (which is placed to measure the displacement of a rod moved up and down). I need to know the damping on the system caused by this inductor. I'm not very good at electronics so I figured you guys might be able to help. I know it will be electrical damping, the inductor is a solenoid made from coiled copper wire.
I know the energy stored in an inductor is 1/2LI^2. The change in inductance, due to the movement of the rod, is on the order of 10µH. The resistance of the solenoid has been measured as 2.5Ω. The current supplied is 1mA.
Thank you for your help!
