According to this calculation we

r= radius (= diameter / 2)

By measuring the diameter of

the cable (the conductive cop-

per part, not the insulation!, see
picture on the right), you can

determine the thickness of the

cable. We measure a diameter

of 1.00 mm for the black cable
connected to the choke. We can

now calculate the thickness of

the cable, as follows: cable
