Strand diameter d =      

Circle diameter D =      

Wire length l =      

Number of wires N = (use: N ≥ 2)

      

L (N) = Grover, eq. (1)     side a (mm)

L (N=3) = Grover, eq. (2)

L (N=2) = Grover, eq. (3)

L (N=1) = Grover, eq. (4) (for comparison only)

==== Equations ==== //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 other dimensions (a,d,D << 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 re-arranged and converted here to be consistent with [[/SI units]], and making use of diameter rather than radius. 5) The circle diameter D is such such that it coincides with the centres of the wires. 6) The calculations may fail for large N (e.g. N > 150), due to limitations of raising to such a large power value.// |< 100% 15% 25% 55% 5% >| ^ Inductance of a several round wires or conductors distributed uniformly on a circle ^^^^ | //[1] Source: [[https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/0876645570|F.W.

Zurek to make use of diameter rather than radius, and for SI units. For N = 3 the the length of the side of the triangle (as used in [1]) was calculated as $a = D ⋅ sin(π/3) = \sqrt{3} ⋅ D /2 $ and used for simplifying and unifying the equation, so that only the D input variable is needed.
