Outer diameter D =      

Inner diameter d =      

Wire length l =      

      

LDC = Eq. (1) Grover, (uniform current, low frequency)

Lmin,HF = Eq. (2) Grover, (shallow skin depth, min. inductance)


Lwire,DC = Eq. (3) Grover, (DC, max. inductance of solid wire, added for reference only)

//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 diameter(s) (d,D << l), otherwise the calculation errors might be excessive. 3) The conductor and the surrounding medium are assumed to be non-magnetic (μr = 1). 4) The equations were converted here to be consistent with [[/SI units]].// ^ Inductance of a straight round tubular conductor ^^^ | // Sources: [1] F.W.
