First and foremost, I admit that this was not my strong point in physics. I am trying to construct a realistic model in excel or maple which could be used to predict induced voltage in a solenoid based on it's distance to a virtually infinite extremely high voltage, power source.
The source is a transmission powerline, the span between towers would be about 1/5 of a mile, but the circiut continues in a roughly straight line for many miles. The maximum rated voltage of the line is 2MV. In theory the solenoid should never be closer than 40 feet.
I did a lot of searching, and it seems like the most direct way to solve this would be the neumann equation, slightly modified. but I'm worried if this would be accurate at all. Also is there any other factors I should be considering, or is there a better way about going about this.
I realize that this might seem like a pretty basic question, but I'm posting it here because I need something that is relatively accurate.
Thanks
Dan
