Flux linkage in terms of a straight conductor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of flux linkage in relation to straight conductors, specifically addressing the confusion surrounding the term "Weber-turn/meter" when applied to a meter-long straight conductor. It clarifies that in the context of a straight conductor, the term effectively equates to having one turn (N = 1), despite the absence of physical turns. This understanding is crucial for accurately interpreting the principles of electromagnetic theory as they apply to transmission lines.

Taken from wikipedia, "If several turns of the wire are made, this becomes

where N is the number of turns..." when speaking in terms of flux linkage and coils of a wire. However, in terms of a straight conductor (e.g. transmission lines), flux linkage for a meter long straight conductor has units of Weber-turn/meter, what is this weber-turn referring to? Basically, it's throwing me off because there aren't any turns. Is it essentially just the same as N = 1 in terms of a straight conductor? Thanks for any input.
