Functions
Skin Depth
Skin Depth is defined as the depth till which current flows in a conductor.
Symbol: δ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Specific Resistance
Specific Resistance is also known as resisitivity. The resistivity of a material is the resistance of a wire of that material of unit length and unit area of cross-section.
Symbol: Rs
Measurement: Electric ResistivityUnit: μΩ*cm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Frequency
Frequency is the number of cycles per second in an ac sine wave.
Symbol: f
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: MHz
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Relative Permeability
Relative permeability is the permittivity of a material expressed as a ratio with the electric permittivity of a vacuum.
Symbol: μr
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
