What is the Inductance of Parallel Wires in a Circuit?

AI Thread Summary
The inductance of parallel wires in a circuit can be influenced by their length and configuration. A specific example involves calculating the inductance for wires with a length of 2m, width of 5cm, and radius of 1mm using a given formula. The initial calculation yielded an inductance of 3.3 x 10^-6 H, but the result was questioned for accuracy. Participants in the discussion provided assistance and clarification on the calculation process. Accurate inductance calculations are essential for understanding circuit behavior.

1. Two wires running parallel to each other in a circuit can provide an inductance that is adjustable with their length. For the loop shown below with length L=2m , width w=5cm , and wire radius a=1mm , find the inductance in H?

Homework Equations

3. I thought i could find the inductance by using the equation mu0/pi(L*ln((w-r)/r) + w*ln((L-r)/r) and i found 3.3*10^-6 but it don't seem good.
Could you help me?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
