Multipole Field Electromagnetic Launchers (MFEML) is one of the radial electromagnetic launching mechanisms, which can propel a payload for long distances. This paper proposes formulae for inductance based on the magnetic flux distribution in the coils of MFEML. Flux lines flow is sectionalized, for each section reluctance formulae is derived based on the position of the projectile. Based on the principles of the Lorentz equation, magnetic forces are calculated. This paper presents an electrical and magnetic equivalent circuit of MFEML. The velocity and force characteristics are obtained for the proposed formulae. The results are validated using Finite element analysis.
