Inductance is not negative. It is measured in henrys, and that is a positive value. Inductive reactance, however, is measured in ohms, and is commonly shown as negative to indicate that the current lags the voltage.

What is the relationship between the length of parallel wire inductance and its effect on the overall inductance value?

The length of parallel wire inductance is directly proportional to its effect on the overall inductance value. This means that as the length of the wire increases, the inductance value also increases.


Can capacitance be negative?

no, if it was it would act like inductance.


What will be the voltage in an inductance reactance circuit?

The voltage across the inductance alone will be(value of the inductance) times (the rate at which the current through it changes)

If number of turns of inductance double then its value?

"The magnetic field produced by each turn interacts with the field of other turns and multiplies the effect, causing the inductance of a coil of wire to increase by the number of turns (N) squared. Therefore, if you double the number or turns, you quadruple the inductance."

What is an inductor and its current rating?

An inductor is an electrical component, usually a coil, designed to offer a specific value of inductance (measured in henrys). As the operating current of an inductor affects its inductance its inductance value (inductors are not linear devices, due to their hysteresis characteristics) is normally expressed for a specific range of operating currents.

What does the dot on a current transformer mean?

There is a method called dot convention which is used in transformers. the dot shows the direction of current flowing through the coil and whether the value of mutual inductance thus produced will be positive or negative.

Positive


How do you double the inductance value without double the number of the turns?

In addition to the number if turns, the inductance also depends on the length and diameter of the winding, the pitch (number of turns per inch), and the material of the core if there is one. Search on line and find an empirical formula for the inductance of a finite coil, and then work to tweak the other parameters to alter the inductance as required.
