I also believe the question is worded wrong. Wikipedia.org ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetomotive_force) has it Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:22:49 GMT Thomas Pinkney Davis http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/319 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/319 Not to beat a dead horse, but the FCC essentially states in this problem that 79.6 Gi = 100 ampere-turns. So we have this simple equality: 79.6 Gi = 100 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:45:55 GMT Thomas Pinkney Davis http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/318 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/318 I went and found "Engineering Electromagnetics", 3rd ed.by William Hayt, Jr. (McGraw-Hill, 1974) and it states on page 476: 1 Ampere-turn = 0.4pi Gilberts Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:42:18 GMT David J http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/317 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/317 Well if anyone isn't in proximity of the CAP Station and wants to get on the air, you are invited out the the WC5C Field Day station in Azle (Fort Worth area) Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:31:06 GMT john_theis_1@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/316 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/316 No 1Gi = 0.796 ampere-turns (correct to three places) the (10/4pi) is a irrational number and you can not take it apart. You may need to brush up on your Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:56:37 GMT Thomas Pinkney Davis http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/315 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/315 I think we're saying the same thing here. Working from what you wrote: 1 Gi = (10/4pi)ampere-turns = 0.796 ampere-turns Multiplying through by 4pi: 4pi Gi = Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:05:17 GMT john_theis_1@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/314 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/314 You have the definition for a gilbert wrong. It is 1Gi=(10/4pie) times ampere-turns. So this works out to be 1Gi=0.795773 Ampere-turns  (correct to only 6 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:10:32 GMT Thomas Pinkney Davis http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/313 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texaswingarc/message/313 I've started working through the question pool for the GROL and have hit a snag, namely Element 3D-179.
