Inducatnce and Capacitance calculation for rectangular spiral coil

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the calculation of self-inductance and capacitance for rectangular spiral coils. The user seeks specific formulas, noting the availability of resources for helical and circular coils but lacking information for rectangular designs. Two resources were shared: a calculator from circuits.dk and a paper from Stanford University. The user encountered issues with unit specifications, particularly regarding inductance in microhenries and capacitance values that appear inconsistent.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of inductance and capacitance principles
  • Familiarity with coil geometry, specifically rectangular spiral coils
  • Basic knowledge of electrical engineering calculations
  • Experience with online calculators for electrical components
NEXT STEPS
  • Research formulas for calculating self-inductance of rectangular spiral coils
  • Explore the use of microhenries in inductance calculations
  • Investigate the relationship between coil geometry and capacitance values
  • Review the Stanford University paper for detailed methodologies on coil calculations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, hobbyists designing inductive components, and students studying coil design and electromagnetic theory will benefit from this discussion.

Hi,

I am looking for a formula that calculates self inductance and capacitance of rectangular spiral coil, i came across many formulas for helical coil and circular spiral coil but couldn't find one for rectangular coil, any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for your help, i tried this one but the problem is, it does not mention the unit in which its calculated.
 
Seems to be micrometers.

I just added a second site which does show it as micrometers.
 
its inductance, so i guess it to be microhenry, but the thing is that it gives me weird value for capacitance when i calculated. i have already mailed circuitdk admin about the information for unit, anyways thanks from your side, if you could find unit let me know so that i can resume my work.

Thanks
