I've been asked to calculate the inductance per unit length for two wires or radius a separated by 2d where 2d>>a.
Starting from ∫sB.dS=LI Im not sure what surface to take?
For each wire the field at a distance r away is given by ∫lB.dl=μ0I and by superposition B in the first integral is their sum. And so LI=∫sB1.dS+∫sB2.dS where B1 and B2 are the contributions from the two wires.
Answer
Answer if anyone is interested. In the end the areas outside the inner edges of the wire cancelled by symmetry and so the surface i was looking for was the area enclosed.
