Question:

When the number of turns of a solenoid is doubled, its self inductance becomes:

Options:

2 times

6 times

8 times

4 times

Correct Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 4 times

The self inductance (L) is,

$L=μ_0\frac{N^2A}{l}$

if the number of turns N is doubled:

$L'=\frac{μ_0(2N)^2A}{l}=4\frac{μ_0N^2A}{l}$

$L'=4L$
