SUMMARY
The inductance of two parallel wires in a circuit can be calculated using the formula μ₀/π(L*ln((w-r)/r) + w*ln((L-r)/r). In the discussion, the user attempted to compute the inductance for a loop with a length of L=2m, width w=5cm, and wire radius a=1mm, arriving at a value of 3.3*10^-6 H. However, this value was questioned for its accuracy, indicating a need for further verification or adjustment in the calculation method.
