1.Straight conductor
l=length
R=wire radius
 
2.Circular loop of round wire
a=loop radius
R=wire radius
3.Parallel-wire line
l=wire length
d=distance between wire; l>d
4.Square loop
D=side length
2w=trace width
b=wire depth; w<<D; b<<D
5.Rectangle of round wire
x,y=rectangle side lenght
 6.Poligon of round wire
p=perimeter
A=area
 
 7.Disk coil with rectangular cross section
a=radius
b=axial thickness
c=trace width

P and F = unitless constants
F=1 for b<<c, c<<a
P=f(c/2a)
8."Brooks" Coil
2a/c=3
b=c
N= number of turns
9.Finite-length solenoid
a=radius
l=length;
l>0.8a
l<a
N=number of turns ; K=constant
10.Round planar spirals
a=mean coil diameter
P=factor depending on c/2a
c=thickness of winding
N=number of turns

11.Planar square coil
N=number of turns

for Di=0
