The self-inductance (L) of a long solenoid on doubling its number of turns and length, keeping other factors constant, will become |
$L/2$ $L$ $2L$ $4L$ |
$2L$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $2L$ The self-inductance of a solenoid is $L = \mu_0 \frac{N^2 A}{l}$ where $N$ = number of turns, $A$ = cross-sectional area, $l$ = length. If $N \to 2N$ and $l \to 2l$ : $L' = \mu_0 \frac{(2N)^2 A}{2l}$ $L' = \mu_0 \frac{4N^2 A}{2l}$ $L' = 2 \mu_0 \frac{N^2 A}{l}$ $L' = 2L$ Final Answer: $2L$ |
