Rosa.\ Inductance of Linear Conductors. Z^l 9. SELF-INDUCTANCE OF A SQUARE. The self-inductance of a square may be derived from the expres-sion for the self and mutual inductance of finite straight wires fromthe consideration that the self-in-ductance of the square is the sumof the self-inductances of the foursides minus the mutual induct-ances. That is, L^^L^ — \M the mutual inductance of twomutually perpendicular sides beingzero. Substituting a for / and din formulae (9) and (12) we have T fi a^Ja^^p^L^—2a\ log —^—^ ^^ L P.

That is, if the thickness of the wire is proportional to the lengthof the wire in
