Length of wire for a solenoid coil with n turns, radius r, and length m:
Wire length=sqrt((n*2*pi*r)^2+m^2)

Length of wire for a flat spiral coil with n turns, internal radius r1 and
external radius r2:
Wire length=sqrt((n*pi*(r1+r2))^2+(r2-r1)^2)

All the distances consider the center of the wire. The second squared
terms are usually negligible, but with them the expressions are exact.
"sqrt" is square root, pi=3.1416.
