D d wire diameter.
The inductance of a flat or ribbon wire or a track on a pcb can be calculated with the following equation.
You can choose from single layer solenoid multi layer solenoid and flat spiral coil forms.
Where l is the length in cm w is the width in cm t is the thickness in cm pcb copper 1 oz ft2 0 035mm.
On the contrary wires have a certain amount of resistance that increases with length and decreases with diameter.
D d loop diameter.
This formula applies at low frequencies 30mhz using enameled copper wire.
A flat spiral coil is a type of an air core inductor usually incorporated in the primary of a tesla generator rfid tag and proximity detectors.
We generally associate inductance with a loop or coil of wire.

However even a straight piece of wire or your electrode has some self inductance this can be important if you are dealing with low impedances 1 ohm at high frequencies 10khz.
Some people call it magnet wire.
If we wind a wire into a coil it obviously creates inductance but even a straight piece of wire or a component lead has some parasitic inductance caused by the magnetic field that it creates.

Even a single straight piece of wire has some inductance.
Copper is not a perfect conductor.
