2. Review (1)
Scalar magnetic potential (Vm) is different from the electric potential in that the scalar magnetic potential is not a function of positions and there is no physical interpretation.
Vector magnetic potential (A) is useful to find a magnetic field for antenna and waveguide. We can transform Bio-Savart’s law and can show that

for current sheet
for current volume

13. Inductance and mutual inductance
Flux linkage is the total flux passing through the surface bounded by the contour of the circuit carrying the current.
Inductane L is defined as the ratio of flux linkage to the current generating the flux,
henrys or Wb/A.

14. A procedure for finding the inductance
1. Assume a current I in the conductor
2. Determine using the law of Bio-Savart, or Ampere’s circuital law if there is sufficient symmetry.
3. Calculate the total flux  linking all the loops.
4. Multiply the total flux by the number of loops to get the flux linkage.
5. Divide the flux linkage by I to get the inductance. The assumed current will be divided out.

17. Inductance for a toroid that has N turns and current I.
If the wired is tightly wound, the flux linkage will be the same
for the adjacent turns of toroid. If the adjacent turns are
separated by some finite distance, the total flux must be
calculated from the flux from each turn.

18. More about inductance
The definition of the inductance can be written in the form of magnetic energy as
The current inside conductor creates the magnetic flux inside the material texture. This flux causes an internal inductance which combines with the external inductance to get the total inductance. Normally, the internal inductance can be neglected due to its small value compared to the external one.

19. Mutual inductance
Mutual inductance M is the inductance that is caused by the flux linking to the different circuit. The mutual inductance between circuit 1 and circuit 2 can be expressed as
where M12 = M21
12 = flux produced by current I1 that is linked to current I2
21 = flux produced by current I2 that is linked to current I1
N1, N2 = number of loops in circuit 1 and circuit 2 respectively.
