What is the self inductance of a circular loop of wire?

AI Thread Summary
The self-inductance of a circular loop of wire is determined by the current passing through it and its radius. Calculating the magnetic flux involves determining the magnetic field at various points inside the loop, which can lead to complex elliptic integrals. The equation for self-inductance is often an approximation, with more precise derivations found in specialized textbooks or older papers. Some users shared links to resources that provide derivations and approximations for better understanding. The discussion emphasizes the complexity of deriving self-inductance accurately.

If current I passes through a circular loop of radius R,then what will be the self inductance of that loop?
(calculating flux through the loop leads to calculating magnetic field at every point inside the loop which is an elliptic integral.)

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
