(c) Correction factor.—For practical calculation the foregoing formula is sufficientlyaccurate, but for greater precision a correction factor must be applied. In fact, the inductancevalues obtained in examples 1 and 2 are termed the current sheet inductance, based uponthe assumption of a coil wound with infinitely thin tape, the turns of which are assumed totouch but not to be in electrical contact. Dr. Rosa of the Bureau of Standards has given an expression for circular sectioned non-magnetic wire as follows: If the true inductance is designated as L, and the current sheetinductance as L-s, then, L = L-s — L-cwhere L-c is the correction value, and, L-c = 47r a n (&-f Ks)where Kz and Ka are constants of the coil.

It should be noted that K2 may be positive, negative or zero; that is,on the left of the zero line lO is positive and on the right hand side negative. Ks is another factor plotted against the number of turns in the coil as in Fig. 232 whereit will be seen that Ka is zero for one turn and for 1,000 turns.
