Try "Inductance Calculations" by Frederick W. Grover.  It was originally
published in 1946 by Van Nostrand.  It is now reprinted by permission of Dover
Publications by the Instrument Society of America.  It's ISBN number is
0-87664-557-0.  The ISA can be reached at P. O. Box 12277, Research Triangle
Park, NC  27709.

This book is available by the ISA because of the constant need to determine
inductance values of intrinsically safe instrumentation. [Inductance and
capacitance are energy storage elements, of course.]

This book covers an extremely broad number of situations.
