Homework Statement


I have a shape that is basically a rectangle but one side increase in height(shape length is L and it increases height at L/2). Which leaves me with two squares of different heights. Can I find the mutual inductance of each square and then add them up to find the inductance of the entire shape?

Homework Equations


It's just a question.

Trying to get a better understanding on how to start the problem[/B]

Could you draw the shapes and upload it here? Maybe you can use paint or you can draw it on paper and upload its image.
 
Finding the inductance of single-turn loops or coils is extremely difficult, is always an approximation, depends on the wire diameter as well as loop dimensions, and is well beyond the scope of even an undergraduate course in electromagnetics.
