Coil winding Formula single-layer wound coil

The following formula approximates the inductance
for winding r-f coils and is accurate to within approx.
1% for nearly all small air-core coils,
Where:
r = Mean radius of coil in inches
N = Total number of turns
l = Length of coil in inches
L = Coil Inductance in uH
