Using Ampères Law (<math>2 \pi a B_\theta(a) = \mu_0 I</math>), one finds <math>l_i = 2 \pi l_i'</math>.


The value of the normalized internal inductance depends on the current density profile in the toroidal plasma.
The value of the normalized internal inductance depends on the current density profile in the toroidal plasma (as it produces the <math>B_\theta(\rho)</math> profile).
