Two long, parallel wires carry equal currents in opposite directions. The radius of each wire is a, and the distance between the centers of the wires is d. Show that if the magnetic flux within the wires themselves can be ignored, the self-inductance of a length l of such a pair of wires is

$L = \frac{μ_{0} l}{π} ln \frac{d - a}{a} .$

(Hint: Calculate the magnetic flux through a rectangle of length l between the wires and then use $L = N Φ / I$ .)

A small, rectangular single loop of wire with dimensions l, and a is placed, as shown below, in the plane of a much larger, rectangular single loop of wire. The two short sides of the larger loop are so far from the smaller loop that their magnetic fields over the smaller fields over the smaller loop can be ignored. What is the mutual inductance of the two loops?

The figure shows a rectangular loop of wire. The length of the rectangle is l and width is a. On both sides of the rectangle are wires parallel to its length. They are a distance d away from the rectangle. Current I1 flows through both in opposites directions.

Suppose that a cylindrical solenoid is wrapped around a core of iron whose magnetic susceptibility is x. Using Equation 14.9, show that the self-inductance of the solenoid is given by

$L = \frac{(1 + x) μ_{0} N^{2} A}{l},$

where l is its length, A its cross-sectional area, and N its total number of turns.
