Inducatnce and Capacitance calculation for rectangular spiral coil

In summary, the conversation discusses the search for a formula to calculate self inductance and capacitance of a rectangular spiral coil. Two websites are mentioned as potential sources for the formula, but there is uncertainty about the units used in the calculations. The conversation ends with a request for help in finding the correct unit.

Hi,

I am looking for a formula that calculates self inductance and capacitance of rectangular spiral coil, i came across many formulas for helical coil and circular spiral coil but couldn't find one for rectangular coil, any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for your help, i tried this one but the problem is, it does not mention the unit in which its calculated.

Seems to be micrometers.

I just added a second site which does show it as micrometers.

its inductance, so i guess it to be microhenry, but the thing is that it gives me weird value for capacitance when i calculated. i have already mailed circuitdk admin about the information for unit, anyways thanks from your side, if you could find unit let me know so that i can resume my work.

Thanks
 

FAQ: Inducatnce and Capacitance calculation for rectangular spiral coil

1. What is the formula for calculating the inductance of a rectangular spiral coil?

The formula for calculating the inductance of a rectangular spiral coil is L = μ0N²A/l, where L is the inductance in henries, μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π x 10^-7), N is the number of turns, A is the area of the coil in square meters, and l is the length of the coil in meters.

2. How do you calculate the capacitance of a rectangular spiral coil?

The capacitance of a rectangular spiral coil can be calculated using the formula C = ε0 εr N²A/d, where C is the capacitance in farads, ε0 is the permittivity of free space (8.85 x 10^-12), εr is the relative permittivity of the material between the turns, N is the number of turns, A is the area of the coil in square meters, and d is the distance between the turns in meters.

3. What factors affect the inductance of a rectangular spiral coil?

The inductance of a rectangular spiral coil is affected by the number of turns, the area of the coil, the length of the coil, and the permeability of the material used. It is also affected by the shape of the coil, as a rectangular shape will have a higher inductance compared to a circular shape with the same area.

4. Can the capacitance of a rectangular spiral coil be increased?

Yes, the capacitance of a rectangular spiral coil can be increased by increasing the number of turns, increasing the area of the coil, or decreasing the distance between the turns. Using a material with a higher relative permittivity can also increase the capacitance.

5. Are there any limitations to using the formulas for calculating inductance and capacitance for rectangular spiral coils?

Yes, these formulas assume that the coils are tightly packed and have a uniform shape. They also do not take into account any parasitic capacitance or inductance that may be present. Additionally, the formulas may not be accurate for coils with a large number of turns or for coils made with non-ideal materials.
