Question:
If the number of turns per unit length of a coil of
solenoid is doubled, the self-inductance of the
solenoid will
If the number of turns per unit length of a coil of
solenoid is doubled, the self-inductance of the
solenoid will
Updated On: Jul 19, 2024
- remain unchanged
- be halved
- be doubled
- become four times
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Self inductance of a solenoid $=\mu_0 n^2 Al$
where n is the number of turns/length.
So self induction $\mu_0 n^2$
So inductance becomes 4 times when n is doubled.
where n is the number of turns/length.
So self induction $\mu_0 n^2$
So inductance becomes 4 times when n is doubled.

Concepts Used:
Inductance
Inductance is a key parameter in electrical and electronic circuit designs. Like resistance and capacitance, it is a basic electrical measurement that affects all circuits to some degree.
Inductance is used in many areas of electrical and electronic systems and circuits. The electronic components can be in a variety of forms and may be called by a variety of names: coils, inductors, chokes, transformers, . . . Each of these may also have a variety of different variants: with and without cores and the core materials may be of different types.
There are two ways in which inductance is used:
- Self-inductance: Self-inductance is the property of a circuit, often a coil, whereby a change in current causes a change in voltage in that circuit due to the magnetic effect of caused by the current flow. It can be seen that self-inductance applies to a single circuit - in other words it is an inductance, typically within a single coil. This effect is used in single coils or chokes.
- Mutual-inductance: Mutual inductance is an inductive effect where a change in current in one circuit causes a change in voltage across a second circuit as a result of a magnetic field that links both circuits. This effect is used in transformers.
