You can also look at the manufacturer's datasheet for the core you are using. The core cross-section may not be exactly square, depending on the core. The area will usually be listed in the datasheet to be used as part of the calculation of the magnetic properties of the core...Sudalai said:

I don't know what "S.F." is so I can not answer that.Sudalai said:
Effective cross-sectional area refers to the area of a cross-section of a material or object that is actually available for a specific purpose. In science, it is important because it affects the efficiency and effectiveness of various processes, such as fluid flow, heat transfer, and electrical conductivity.
The effective cross-sectional area is calculated by taking into account any obstructions or irregularities in the cross-section that may affect the desired process. For example, in fluid flow, the effective cross-sectional area would be the area of the channel or pipe minus the area taken up by any obstructions, such as valves or fittings.
Several factors can affect the effective cross-sectional area, including the shape and size of the object, the presence of obstructions or irregularities, and the material properties, such as density and porosity. Temperature and pressure can also impact the effective cross-sectional area in certain processes.
The effective cross-sectional area directly affects the performance of a system by determining the amount of material or fluid that can flow through a given area. A larger effective cross-sectional area allows for a higher flow rate, while a smaller effective cross-sectional area can cause restrictions and decrease performance.
Effective cross-sectional area can be optimized by carefully designing and selecting the shape and size of an object or material. This may involve minimizing obstructions, using materials with favorable properties, and considering the effects of temperature and pressure. Computer simulations and experiments can also be used to determine the most efficient cross-sectional area for a specific process.
