Determining Inductance Calculate it from dimensions and material properties Measure using commercial bridge (expensive device) Infer inductance from response of a circuit. This latter approach is the cheapest and usually the simplest to apply. Most of the time, we can determine circuit parameters from circuit performance. 10/1/014 Electronic Instrumentation 5
Making an Inductor For a simple cylindrical inductor (called a solenoid), we wind N turns of wire around a cylindrical form. The inductance is ideally given by ( µ 0 N π r d c ) Henries where this expression only holds when the length d is very much greater than the diameter r c 10/1/014 Electronic Instrumentation 6
Making an Inductor Note that the constant µ o 4π x 10-7 H/m is required to have inductance in Henries (named after Joseph Henry of Albany) For magnetic materials, we use µ instead, which can typically be 10 5 times larger for materials like iron µ is called the permeability 10/1/014 Electronic Instrumentation 7

Calculating Resistance All wires have some finite resistance. Much of the time, this resistance is negligible when compared with other circuit components. Resistance of a wire is given by l is the wire length A is the wire cross sectional area (πr w ) σ is the wire conductivity R σ l A 10/1/014 Electronic Instrumentation 10
