Determine the inductance of the unit length of a two-wire line consisting of two thin flat busbars with a width of d = 0.1 m, located at a distance of h = 5 mm from each other. The busbars flow modulo equal but oppositely directed currents.
Solution
For two thin conducting flat plates of width d separated by a distance" $h (h \ll d)$, equal and opposite currents produce a practically uniform magnetic field in the space between them. Applying Ampère's law to a rectangular path that crosses one plate, we obtain $H = I/d$ and $B = \mu_0 I/d$
The magnetic flux per unit length crossing the area$h \times 1$between the plates is
