Question

    Self-inductance of a long solenoid is directly

    proportional to:
    A Square of the number of turns Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Current through it Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Radius of the solenoid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Frequency of AC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The self-inductance L of a solenoid is given by the formula: Where,   μ0 is the permeability of free space, N is the number of turns, A is the cross-sectional area of the solenoid, l is the length of the solenoid. Therefore, the self-inductance is directly proportional to the square of the number of turns.
