Self-Inductance of a Single-Layer Circular Coil of Small Radius
The selfinductance of a singlelayer circular coil of small radius is a property that describes the electromotive force caused by the change in current in the coil.
The self\[Hyphen]inductance increases quadratically with the number of coils and the coil radius. It decreases inversely with the coil length.
