The inductance of a multilayer air core coil can be expressed by its physical<br />

properties or coil parameters. Coil parameters such as length, diameter,<br />

thickness and number of turns of wire affect the coil's inductance. Figure 3.1<br />

illustrates typical coil dimensions required to calculate coil :inductance. An<br />

approximation of small, multilayer, air core coil inductapce is as follows:<br />

L = 0.8(rN) 2 ∙ (6∙r+9∙l+10∙b) -1 μHenry<br />

L = self inductance in μH<br />

N = number of turns<br />

r = mean radius in inches<br />

l = length of coil in inches<br />

b = coil depth<br />
