Help understanding Partial Mutual Inductance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the calculation of partial mutual inductance in a single-phase transmission line system. It highlights the importance of understanding how mutual flux linkage is estimated, specifically questioning why it is represented by the flux through the green area rather than the red area in the provided image. The inquiry emphasizes the perceived inadequacy of accounting for the flux outside both wires in determining mutual inductance. The poster seeks clarification on the relationship between the flux linkage and the mutual inductance of the two conductors. This topic is crucial for accurately modeling inductance in electrical systems.

I'm sure you are all familiar with calculating the inductance of a long transmission line.

We first calculate the partial self inductance and we add to the partial mutual inductance due to the current in the other conductors.

Looking at the image of a single-phase system, where I1 + I2 = 0.

The partial inductance per unit of length of wire 1 is given by this equation:

Here is my question:

Why do we estimate the MUTUAL flux linkage as the flux going through the GREEN area in the image and not the RED area?

I don't see how the flux outside both wires accounts for the mutual inductance of these two wires.

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
