RP479 A SIMPLIFIED PRECISION FORMULA FOR THE INDUC- TANCE OF A HELIX WITH CORRECTIONS FOR THE LEAD-IN WIRES By Chester Snow [ABSTRACT ‘A precision formula is here given for the self inductance of a single-layer helix wound with ordinary round wire. This is neither more nor less accurate than That previously published, from which it has been derived by evaluating certain Correction terms and replacing them by approximation formulas which are much simpler to compute.

Corrections due to lead. 424 I, INTRODUCTION ‘The formula derived in this paper is a modification, without loss of precision, of the expression for the inductance of a single-layer helix of round wire, given in Bureau of Standards Scientific Paper No. 537 (vol. 21, p. 431, 1926-27). The notation hes been changed, and the correction terms transformed so that the present formula is more simple from the point of view of the computer. ‘The diameter of the wire is d; the mean diameter of the solenoid is D; and its length J is the axial distance from the center of the wire at the begininng of the first turn to the center of the wire at the end of the N® turn, N’ being the total turns so that the pitch of the winding is UN. The modulus & of the complete ellipitic integrals K and E is given by D PanrD ‘The principal term L, is the current-sheet formula of Lorenz. oe Lk ee [x E+E EB | a) As one of the correction terms there appears M, the mutual inductance between the two end-circles of the solenoid, which is computed by ‘K-E_k m=4e0[ -tx] @ The inductance L of an actual helix is (to a precision which neglects terms of the order of (xp) ex as 420 Bureaw of Standards Journal of Research [Velo L=L,+ =[2N(n ee 0.g0473)+ Ln Ms? +1P(5) -im 2 yr en [2+(4")'] @) “Hsbc gol where P(q) = gp Bind when 11 =8y—alng when 751 @) ‘The ambiguous sign is plus for the “natural” and minus for the uni- form distribution of current over the section of the wires.
