Let’s recall the well-known Farady’s law. It says that a electromotive force or an induced
voltage will be produced when an alternative driving current is applied to an ideal
inductor. It can be expressed as
where ε = Electromotive force or induced voltage,
i = Alternative driving current, and
L = Inductance of the inductor.
An ideal inductor means that there is neither flux leakage nor flux cancellation. As
shown in Figure 8.24, all of flux are going through all the windings simultaneously.

An ideal inductor means that there is neither flux leakage nor flux cancellation. As
shown in Figure 8.24, all of flux are going through all the windings simultaneously.
In this ideal case, L is a real number.
In an actual IC spiral inductor with flux leakage and flux cancellation, the Farady Law
(8.13) must be modified such as
where the additional term, ri , represents the voltage drop due to the ohmic resistance,
which is equivalent to the flux leakage and flux cancellation
