Formula Page On this page I have posted Tesla coil formulas for a reference to those who prefer to make calculations on paper. Below is a table of formulas on this page. Ohm's Law Transformer Input and Output Capacitive Reactance Inductive Reactance Resonant Circuit Formula Spiral Coil Helical Coil Inverse Conical Coil Secondary Coil Dimensions Medhurst Toroid Capacitance Sphere Capacitance Plate Capacitors Leyden Jar Capacitors AC RMS/Peak Voltage Rotary Gap Firing Rotary Gap Electrode Speed Energy for L and C Ohm's Law E = IZ P = IE E = volts I = current in amps Z = impedance or resistance in ohms P = power in watts Transformer Input and Output EPIP = ESIS EP = primary voltage IP = primary current in amps ES = secondary voltage IS = secondary current in amps Capacitive Reactance XC = capacitive reactance in ohms F = frequency in hertz C = capacitance in farads Inductive Reactance
XL = inductive reactance in ohms
F = frequency in hertz L = inductance in henrys Resonant Circuit Formula
F = frequency in hertz L = inductance in henrys C = capacitance in farads Spiral Coil Inductance
L = inductance of coil in microhenrys (µH)
R = average radius of the coil in inches N = number of turns W = width of the coil in inches
Helical Coil Inductance
L = inductance of coil in microhenrys (µH)
N = number of turns R = radius of coil in inches (Measure from the center of the coil to the middle of the wire.) H = height of coil in inches
Inverse Conical Coil Inductance
L = inductance of coil in microhenrys (µH)
L1 = helix factor L2 = spiral factor N = number of turns R = average radius of coil in inches H = effective height of the coil in inches W = effective width of the coil in inches X = rise angle of the coil in degrees Secondary Coil Dimensions T = AH L = length of wire in feet D = outer diameter of coil form in inches H = height of windings in inches A = number of turns per inch T = total number of turns B = thickness of wire in inches Medhurst
C = self capacitance in picofarads
R = radius of secondary coil in inches L = length of secondary coil in inches Toroid Capacitance
C = capacitance in picofarads D1 = outside diameter of toroid in inches D2 = diameter of cross section of toroid in inches This equation courtesy Bert Pool. Sphere Capacitance
C = capacitance in picofarads R = radius in inches Plate Capacitors
C = capacitance in microfarads K = dielectric constant A = area of each plate in square inches N = number of plates D = distance between plates in inches (thickness of dielectric) Leyden Jar Capacitors
C = capacitance in microfarads K = dielectric constant D = diameter of jar in inches H = height of jar in inches T = thickness of jar in inches AC RMS and Peak Voltage ERMS = 0.7071·E P ERMS = RMS voltage EP = peak voltage Rotary Spark Gap Firings per Second
F = firings per second (hertz)
R = motor RPM rating E = number of rotary electrodes Rotary Spark Gap Electrode Speed
S = electrode speed (MPH)
R = motor RPM rating D = diameter of electrode placement circle (inches) Energy for L and C Capacitance Inductance J = 0.5 V2 C J = 0.5 I2 L
J = joules of energy stored
V = peak charge voltage I = peak current C = capacitance in farads L = inductance in henries I stated peak values of V and I because I want to emphasize not to use RMS values. The energy stored at any given time is of course: J(t) = 0.5 [V(t)]2 C and J(t) = 0.5 [I(t)]2 L.
