We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello,
 
Inter-turn capacitance can be calculated using electrostatic solver. It is recommended to use a separated turn model, and assign voltage to each turn to represent the voltage distribution. For example, a 300-turn coil, for each turn, the voltage is different. Assuming we are applying total 1 V voltage on the two coil terminals, the voltage of each turn is
300 turns and 1V:      1V/300/2 for 1st turn
                                      1V/300*(1+1/2) for 2nd turn
                                      1V/300*(2+1/2) for 3rd turn ...

                                      1V/300*(300-1/2) for the last turn
This  represents the actual voltage distribution among the 300 turn, then we can solve it, and check the inter-turn capacitance in the matrix result.
