Inductance Per Unit Length Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Inductance Per Unit Length (IPL):

\[ IPL = \frac{I}{L} \]

Where:

\(IPL\) is the Inductance Per Unit Length in Henries per unit length
\(I\) is the Total Inductance in Henries (H)
\(L\) is the Total Length in units (e.g., meters, feet)

What is Inductance Per Unit Length?

Inductance per unit length refers to the amount of inductance (in Henries) per unit length of a conductor. It is a useful parameter in the design and analysis of electrical circuits, especially in the context of transmission lines, where knowing the inductance per unit length helps in understanding the behavior of the line in response to alternating current (AC).

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Inductance (\(I\)) = 0.02 H
Total Length (\(L\)) = 10 meters

Using the formula:

\[ IPL = \frac{0.02}{10} = 0.002 \text{ H/meter} \]

The Inductance Per Unit Length is 0.002 H/meter.
