20160302 Daily Question: How to calculate inductance?Second method: The formula for calculating an air-core inductor is: L (mH) = (0.08 * D * D * N * N) / (3 * D + 9 * W + 10 * H), where D represents the diameter of the coil, N represents the number of turns, d represents the wire diameter, and H represents the height of the coil. The units are millimeters and mH respectively. Third method: Formula for calculating the inductance of a hollow coil: l = (0.01 * D * N * N) / (L/D + 0.44). The unit for inductance l is microhenries; the unit for coil diameter D is centimeters; the unit for the number of turns N is turns; and the unit for coil length L is centimeters. Fourth method: Formula for calculating inductance and capacitance at a given frequency: l = 25330.3 / working frequency f0, where the unit for f0 is MHz. In this case, f0 = 125 KHZ = 0.125. The unit for resonant capacitance c is picofarads; it is recommended to set c between 500 and 1000 pF, either based on personal judgment or determined by the Q value. The unit for resonant inductance l is microhenries. Fifth method: Formulas for calculating coil inductance. For toroidal cores, the following formulas can be used: L = N² * AL. Here, L represents the inductance value in henries; H-DC = 0.4πNI / l, where N is the number of turns and AL is the inductance coefficient. H-DC also represents the direct current magnetizing force, I is the current flowing through the coil in amperes, and l is the length of the magnetic circuit in centimeters. The values of l and AL can be found using the Micrometal reference table. For example, using material T50-52 with 5.5 turns of wire, the L value for T50-52 (with an OD of 0.5 inches) is approximately 33 nH according to tables; thus L = 33 × (5.5)² = 998.25 nH ≈ 1 μH. When a current of 10 A flows through it, the change in the L value can be calculated using l = 3.74 (as per tables), and H-DC = 0.4πNI/l = 0.4 × 3.14 × 5.5 × 10 / 3.74 = 18.47 (as determined from tables); this value shows the degree of decrease in the L value in μH%. 2. An empirical formula is given as L = (k * μ0 * μs * N² * S) / l, where μ0 is the permeability of free space, equal to 4π × 10⁻⁷. (10 to the power of negative 7) μs is the relative permeability of the magnetic core inside the coil; for a hollow coil, μs = 1. N2 is the square of the number of turns in the coil. S is the cross-sectional area of the coil, measured in square meters. l is the length of the coil, measured in meters. k is a coefficient that depends on the ratio of the coil’s radius (R) to its length (l). The unit of the calculated inductance is henry.
