Try this site;

Inductance Calculator

It will tell you the amount of inductance a coil will produce.
Try a few different values for the different parameters, diameter, length and number of turns. See how that affects the inductance. Tall skinny coils and short fat coils.

    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
