A Method To Calculate Inductance In Systems Of Parallel Wires, Eric Deyo Jan 2017

A Method To Calculate Inductance In Systems Of Parallel Wires, Eric Deyo

Physics Faculty Publications

This paper gives a method that maps the static magnetic field due to a system of parallel current-carrying wires to a complex function. Using this function simplifies the calculation of the magnetic field energy density and inductance per length in the wires, and we reproduce well-known results for this case.
