Inductance
Probably the most misunderstood concept in
electrical engineering
Do not confuse inductance with inductors
Common Usage
Self inductance
Loop inductance
Mutual inductance
Equivalent inductance
Partial inductance
Partial self inductance
Partial mutual inductance
Apparent inductance
Bruce Archambeault, PhD
Inductance
Current flow through metal =
inductance!
Fundamental element in EVERYTHING
Loop area first order concern
Inductive impedance increases with
frequency and is MAJOR concern at
high frequencies

Partial Inductance
We now know that a loop of current has
inductance
We now know that there must be a
complete loop to have inductance
But where do we place this inductance in a
circuit?

What is Capacitance?
Q = CV
Q
C=
V
Capacitance is the
ability of a structure to
hold charge
(electrons) for a given
voltage
Amount of charge
stored is dependant
on the size of the
capacitance (and
voltage)

Observations
Added via (capacitor) does not lower
effective inductance to 70-75% of original
single via case
Thicker dielectric results in higher
inductance
Normalizing inductance to single via case
gives same curve for all dielectric
thicknesses

Summary
Inductance has meaning only for current
loops
Size of the loop has the most impact on
amount of inductance
Current density also impact inductance
Partial inductance is a very useful concept
to understand which portions of the loop
have the largest impact on loop
inductance
