Strider98107 (talk) 15:31, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Hmmm... I don't think Equation 1 is needed. If radius to center of ring is R, and ring wire radius is r, then inner ring radius is 2(pi)(R-r), outer ring radius is 2(pi)(R+r), the total force is F=(gamma)[(2)(pi)(R+r)+(2)(pi)(R-r)] = (gamma)(4)(pi)(R)Reply

This is independent of the wire diameter. The correction factor f is still needed, of course.
