6.13. Voice-coil design
Effect of coil size on efficiency
Let us now reconsider Eq. (6.47) to see how to maximize the efficiency in terms of the actual coil dimensions. The resistance R
E
can be expressed in terms of the mass of the voice-coil winding M
MC
by writing
(6.82)
where κ is resistivity of voice-coil conductor in units of Ω·m. The value of κ for different materials is given in Table 6.1. a
w
is radius of wire in m. l is length of voice-coil winding in m.
We also note that the volume occupied by the coil wire is

where for simplicity we are ...
