But after some 'playing' with simulation software and calcuations it turned
out that there might be a more accurate and simpler formula to calculate
the inductance of a big loop :
L = 0.8*B*(ln(A/d)+6.82)
where L = loop inductance in uH, A = loop height in m, B = loop length in m
and d = wire diamater in mm
At first sight there seems no (practical) limits to the A/B ratio.
By integrating magnetic field of wires I have derived formula for
rectangular loop. It seems bit complex, but there is no limits to A/B
indeed. After some test (I want to derive it again to avoid mistakes)
I'll sent it to Your.
