The quantity per period
= CT' = .01245 coulomb

Energy per period given by battery
= ECT' = .0995 Joule

The mean squared current I
= C₀ √r - 2 x s + 1/2 s y
= 3.16 √.500 - .450 + .1295
= 3.16 x √.1795 = 1.34 amperes

I/C = 1.34/.870 = 1.54

The available energy of magnetic field per spark
= W'
= 1/2 LCI² = .0048 x (2.68)²
= .0345 Joule

The efficiency of magnetic field production
= .0345/.0995 = .347
