📊 Calculation Breakdown

Parameter Value Symbol

How the formula works

L = (μ₀ × μr × N² × A) / ℓ  |  μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m
  • μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m)
  • μr = Relative permeability of the core material
  • N = Number of turns
  • A = Cross-sectional area of the coil (π × r²)
  • = Length of the coil in meters
  • L = Inductance in Henrys (H)
