Circular Loop![]() | Rectangular Loop![]() | Square Loop![]() | Equilateral Triangle Loop![]() | Isosceles Triangle Loop![]() |
| Transmission Line geometries (cross sections) the values calculated are the inductance per unit length | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twin Lead | Round Wire over a Ground Plane ![]() | Vertically Spaced Traces![]() | Wide Trace over a Ground Plane ![]() | Coplanar Traces |
In all cases, the current is assumed to flow in the outer surface of the conductors.
The approximate formulas used to calculate the inductance are provided along with restrictions on the relative size of the various parameters.
All the units are in SI (Iternational System):
- [m] = meter
- [H] = Henry
