We present a model of the mutual inductance of a thin film planar loop that is flux linked to a short straight wire. The mutual inductance is dependent on the geometry of the planar loop as well as its location relative to the wire. Our calculations provide closed-form and numerical solutions for various geometries. Calculations for the induced emf in the loop are compared to experimental measurements for various configurations.
