Self-inductance and Magnetic Flux

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    The canonical equation for self-inductance involving magnetic flux is examined, and a more general form is presented that can be applied to continuous current distributions. We attempt to clarify and extend the use of the standard equation by recasting it in its more versatile form.
