I'd like to build some EM coils for an electromagnetic Launcher I'm planning on building.

Does anyone know of a resource, or program that I can plug in parameters like number of turns, wire size, current, resultant EM field?
This should have all been done before! Thanks!!!

The magnetic field strength of a solenoid coil is given as "Ampere-turns"; literally coil current * number of turns in the coil.

this link will give you all that. specially the magnetic flux you need for your accelerator.

There are various online calculators available that can help you calculate parameters such as inductance, magnetic field strength, and force generated by the coil. Websites like Coil32 https://coil32.net/
