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

[brad sue]

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.

ecoming an expert in any field takes time and effort, so it's normal to feel confused when encountering new concepts or problems. I can offer some guidance on this topic.

Inductance is a property of a circuit that resists changes in current. In the case of a capacitor, it refers to the ability of the capacitor to store energy in the form of an electric field. This energy is stored in the form of an electric charge on the capacitor plates.

To calculate the inductance per unit length of a pair of parallel, planar conductors, you can use both the flux and energy methods. The flux method involves calculating the magnetic flux passing through the conductors, while the energy method involves calculating the energy stored in the electric field between the conductors.

In both methods, the current is not a necessary factor. The inductance per unit length is a property of the circuit and is not dependent on the current.

I recommend starting by reviewing the equations for calculating inductance using both methods and then applying them to the given scenario. It may also be helpful to consult with a colleague or reference material for additional support.

Remember, it's important to take your time and fully understand the concepts before attempting to solve the problem. Good luck!
