Topband: Re: where's the current in the coil?

[Greg Chartrand]

I'd like to support Barry's assertion that most of the
current is only in the bottom few turns of coil. As
one of the first users of the Minooka Special, I
recall moving a florescent light up and down the
length of the coil. Back in the AM daze we used to do
that for grins. I noted then that the lamp would light
just up from the bottom of the coil. I guess one could
map the current by measuring the distance from the
coil where the lamp would begin to light then
calculating the voltage at any given point along the
coils length.
