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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The inductance per unit length for a pair of parallel planar conductors can be calculated using both the flux and energy methods. Given the conditions where the length (l) is much greater than the width (w) and spacing (d), and neglecting fringing effects, the inductance is determined by the magnetic flux linked to the conductors. The inductance is defined as the ratio of magnetic flux to the current, which simplifies the calculation when the current is not specified.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic theory

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.
