So I'm doing a 2d axial model. I'm using a multi-turn coil and I am plotting the current in the coil. I've defined my voltage as a step function and that is the excitation.
Just noticed that when I plot a point graph (1d) and select mf.ICoil_1 I get one plot with a max at about .16 amps.
When I graph by doing a surface integration of mf.Jphi (selecting the domain of the coil ) I get a max at about 16 amps. Now these graphs have the same exact shape, just have amplitude scaling.
There is a difference in a factor of 100. Now there are 100 turns in my coil... but aren't these two graphs representing the same thing? Or does mf.ICoil_1 just calculate the current through each individual wire where as integration calculated the total current?
Thanks in advance for any input!
