Side a =      
Side b =      
Wire length l =      

      

L = Rosa, full eq. (1a)
L = Rosa, simplified eq. (1b)
L = Grover, full eq. (2a)
L = Grover, simplified eq. (2b) (with a constant correction)

L = Average of all above
//Note: Several assumptions are made for all these equations: 1) The return path is **not** considered so the total inductance of the complete circuit can be significantly different. 2) The length of the wire is assumed to be significantly longer than its sides (a,b << l), otherwise the calculation errors might be excessive. 3) The medium and the wire are assumed to be non-magnetic with μr ≡ 1. 3) The current is uniformly distributed inside the wire (no [[/skin effect]]). 4) The equations were converted here to be consistent with [[/SI units]].// ^ Inductance of a straight rectangular non-magnetic wire or conductor ^^^ ^ //[1] Source: Edward B.
