  • Abstract
    A method for calculating the reluctance of air gaps in magnetic circuits making use of a Schwarz-Christoffel transformation is described. The method is applied to the calculation of the inductance of example configurations and its validity established through comparisons with calculations based on the finite-element method of numerical analysis
