Modeling flat conductors

In response to the question regarding flat conductors the
following equations will give the effective radius of the
strip.

first get

perimeter = 2(strip height + strip width)

then

area = (strip height)(strip width)

then to get the effective radius use the above in
the following

eff. radius = (sqrt(area/PI) + (perimeter/(2*PI)))

I hope this helps.
