Since all the turns are clockwise (or anticlockwise) they all contribute (o= r=20 respond) to the magnetic field in the same direction. Where a given turn is= =20 laterally makes little difference to the total effect, so sawtooth or=20 triangle will both work fine. Triangle allows for a much neater (denser)=20 packing of the wire on the core. -- Bob Ammerman RAm Systems=20 --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
