How do you calculate the inductance for a length of aluminum foil? All of the equations I've seen are for coils.
Will inductance vary dramatically with frequency? I'm not sure if the skin effect will play a role. Thanks, Thadman

Find a friend with an LCR meter, proceed to buy said friend beer for his time...

what is the application - just a linear conductor?

ribbon loudspeaker. I assume the foil is going to form a RL circuit, but I'm not sure how to calculate it.

in that application your hookup wire and/or transformer will probably swamp any inductance due to the ribbon.

If I saturate the steel to 2.2 tesla, I believe its permeability approaches that of air and might be assumed a constant.
