How Do You Calculate Inductance Per Unit Length for Parallel Planar Conductors?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the inductance per unit length for parallel planar conductors, both flux and energy methods can be employed. The inductance is defined as the ratio of magnetic flux linked to the current flowing through the conductors. In this scenario, the absence of a specific current value complicates the calculation, but it can be addressed by considering the inductance as a function of geometry rather than a specific current. The assumption of l >> w >> d allows for simplifications in the calculations, neglecting fringing effects. Ultimately, understanding the relationship between flux and current is crucial for determining inductance in this configuration.

inductance of a capacitor-urgent

Hi,
Please can someone help me quickly with this problem:

Use both the flux and energy methods to calculate the inductance per unit length of a pair of parallel, planar conductors of length l , width w, and spacing d . Assume l >> w>> d and neglect fringing.

the fact that I don't have a current to work with confuses me.

Thank you
B

The inductance of a system is given by the ratio of the magnetic flux linked and the current. For any current I calculate the flux and find the ratio. I will be canceled out.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
