What is the self inductance of a circular loop of wire?

AI Thread Summary
The self-inductance of a circular loop of wire is determined by the current passing through it and its radius. Calculating the magnetic flux involves determining the magnetic field at various points inside the loop, which can lead to complex elliptic integrals. The equation for self-inductance is often an approximation, with more precise derivations found in specialized textbooks or older papers. Some users shared links to resources that provide derivations and approximations for better understanding. The discussion emphasizes the complexity of deriving self-inductance accurately.

If current I passes through a circular loop of radius R,then what will be the self inductance of that loop?
(calculating flux through the loop leads to calculating magnetic field at every point inside the loop which is an elliptic integral.)

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
