(I) Flux Linkages Due To Internal Flux
1. Flux linkages due to a single current carrying conductor. Consider a long straight cylindrical conductor of radius metres and carrying a current amperes (r.m.s) as shown in Fig. this current will set up magnetic field. The magnetic lines of force will exist inside the conductor as well as outside the conductor. Both these fluxes will contribute to the inductance of the conductor. (i) Flux linkages due to internal flux. The magnetic field intensity at a point metres from the centre is given by
Where is the current enclosed by an amperian path of radius metres. Assuming a uniform current density, amp current is uniformly distributed in the area current ( ) is distributed in the area i.e. So, Substitute eq (2) in eq(1), then
, how much
If by
is the permeability of the conductor, the flux density at the considered point is given
Now, flux
ii) flux linkages due to external flux. Now let us calculate the flux linkages of the conductor due to external flux. The external flux extends from the surface of the conductor to infinity. The field intensity at a distance metres ( from centre) outside the conductor is given by
Flux density,
Now , flux = =
