  1. A 4 mH
  2. B 4 H
  3. C 40 H
  4. D 0.4 H
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4 mH

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

self inductance of a solenoid
\(\begin{array}{l} L =\frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{l} \\ L=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times\left(10^3\right)^2 \times 10^{-3}}{31.4 \times 10^{-2}} \\ L=4 \times 10^{-3} H \\ L =4 mH \end{array}\)
