The mutual inductance between two skew straight thin conductors is obtained as a function of two vectors corresponding to two current carrying line segments. Based on the obtained analytical expressions for the mutual inductance, the versatile calculation method for the self- and mutual inductances of various twisted conductors is studied by means of the broken line or polygonal curve approximation. In particular, it is confirmed that this numerical calculation is consistent with the analytical calculation of the self- and mutual inductances for coaxial helical conductors for the asymptotic form of the long axial length. Furthermore, for the inductances of general twisted conductors, the similar asymptotic forms of the length dependence are obtained.
