Determine permeability of unknown cores

Determine permeability of unknown toroidal core

If there is a toroid core of unknown permeability, wind up 5..20 turns of insulated copper wire on it (evenly distribute the winding around the core), then measure the inductance of the coil. Enter measured inductance, number of turns and dimension of the toroid core in the fields below.
