The electromagnetic force which influenced by rail launcher armature position have been researched in this paper. As an important indicator, Inductance Gradient (IG) denotes the performance of rail launch, which can make the railgun performance to achieve optimal results by better design. A rectangular cross-sectional rail launcher model was built based on the Biot-Savart law in this paper. Furthermore, the analytical expression of inductance gradient can be obtained by this model. Finally, the electromagnetic force can be calculated. Some numerical simulations are made to test the validity and capability of the proposed model.
