5. Consider a conductor of
radius r carrying a current I.
At a distance x from the
center of this conductor, the
magnetic field intensity Hx
can be found from Ampere’s
law:
x xH dl I× =∫Ñ
1. Flux linkages inside the conductor
6. Where Hx is the magnetic field intensity at each point along a closed path, dl is a
unit vector along that path and Ix is the net current enclosed in the path.
For the homogeneous materials and a circular path of radius x, the magnitude of Hx
is constant, and dl is always parallel to Hx. Therefore:

9. To find the flux linkages external to a conductor, we
will consider the portion of flux between two points
P1 and P2 that lie at distances D1 and D2 from the
center of the conductor.

11. Inductance of a single-phase 2-wire
lineThe inductance of a single-phase line
consisting of two conductors of radii r
spaced by a distance D and both
carrying currents of magnitude I
flowing into the page in “A” conductor
and out of the page in the “B“
conductor.
x xH dl I× =∫Ñ
Since the path of radius x2 encloses both
conductors and the currents are equal
and opposite, the net current enclosed is
0 and, therefore, there are no
contributions to the total inductance
from the magnetic fields at distances
greater than D.

12. Inductance of a single-phase 2-wire transmission
line
The total inductance of a line per unit length in this transmission line is a sum of the
