In the study of alternating current distribution and closely related phenomena such as skin effect resistance ratio and power losses, in a circular loop of round wire, the effect of the curvature of the wire has never been considered. This paper presents some mathematical expressions which have been derived with due regard to curvature, Let us consider one turn of round, nonmagnetic, homogen&ous wire carrying an alternating current of complex value . Let C and of frequency 4 . be the center of the loop under consideration (Fig.3) and m, the mean radius of the loop. The intersection of the loop and a plane passing thru C and perpendicular to the plane of the loop is an equipotential surface as all streams of current 2 flowing in the wire strike this surface at right angles there are no radial components of current (Fig. 2) i.e, Let M and 0 be the traces of two filaments of current on the equipotential surface under consideration. The difference of the resistance drops at 0 and M (meaning the resistance drops of the two filaments passing thru 0 and M respectively) in this equipotential plane is 2io a where ,-o o - - t - ) _y) are the current densities at 0 and i and M and respectively,&-is the resistivity of the conductor c= r siv and e e (r being the radius of the wire to the point M the angle between the reference axis and the radius r ), If - we let i C,,)be the current density at ( any point in the equipotential surface under consideration ), the total current flowing thru a small element of area at P will be je otSt&.,jand the drop at 0 due to c d3Sc.) osLeM) at 1' will be ? where ~Po Ai(S .) OSg lohas the usual meaning of mutual inductance of the two circular filaments thru 'P and 0 . A *Y. z setting up the expression-for the difference In in resistance drops at 0 and M , it was considered that the wire is made up of an infinite number of small eircular coaxial filaments - this assumption is justified since the current undoubtedly flows along such stream lines. On the basis of this assumption, we may express M-po by one of the many formulas expressing the mutual inductance between two coaxial circles. When ( < a the M of two coaxial circles (Fig.3 ), may be expressed by Maxwell "s formula:" M (Ci + [ Am !-n =0 In -.. ) - (z p and c= C 0 Now the drop in M due to i if M dScc,jat ~P is expressed by Maxwell s formula ~ 7'-c 8(a+c) +2(atc) where -- the case under consideration, C = St where, - + c'= Ps-m 6.

Undoubtedly; some of the results obtained in the examples just worked out do not represent the actual facts. These results must thus be analyzed in order to determine the range of usefulifess of the skin effect resistance ratio curvature correction formula which has been derived. The derivation was only carried out to the third term of the skin effect resistance ratio formula for a straight wire, It is thus not warranted to consider the curvature correction formula to be applicable in cases where the first three terms of the straight wire equation form either a or a series which is not sufficiently divergent series convergent. for a straight wire which is An equation for very suitable for rapid calculation purposes is given in " Transmission Line Formulas " by H.

Whether or not the formula is applicable must be determined in the manner shown in this section.

The first term is the expression for the skin effect resistance ratio of an isolated straight wire and the remaining terms are the curvature correction terms. Although the total expression for the skin effect resistance ratio of a straight wire is here given, only the first three terms of the series have been derived in this,work and. the curvature correction terms given correspond to the first three terms of tb atraight wire formula. The curvature correction formula can thus not be 43 used when the first three terms of the straight wire equation form either a divergent series or a series which is not a sufficiently convergent. A suitable straight wire series for calculation purposes is 2 "R Igo where Wi- W,10~ LO 0~ From the very nature of the series ( b ) , the curvature correction is only good for relatively low frequqncies. The use of ( a ) implies the use of ( b ) as shown in the numerical examples worked out in this paper in order to find out whether or not ( a) applies to the particular case on hand. From the results obtained in the numerical examples, it would appear that the curvature correction is much larger than expected. The writer is unable to detect anything in the method of attack or the mathematical work which would to disprove those results. 4,4 APPENDIX 1 SOME DEFINITE INTEGRALS ENCOUNTERED IN THIS PAPER. p U) An p dn ccp =Th _ 'h 3 ad#=n r sa~~~- 5 77k~n1 (3) 33 2 p' $ st;f 4 -j (s) p d-o al (p = 77r 1/ Po nE -nT s-il@, dn, d$ JA 12 + -y Ze m ei9 8 (c)/ /Ids 77 r ~ 36 JI + cd a,/ ('7) 71rkn - ercod2 32 cos q d# 2.
