A copper wire is wound on a wooden frame, whose shape is that of an equilateral triangle. If the linear dimension of each side of the frame is increased by a factor of \(3\), keeping the number of turns of the coil per unit length of the frame the same, then self inductance of the coil

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) increases by a factor of \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total length \(L\) will remain constant

\(\mathrm{L}=(3 \mathrm{a}) \mathrm{N} \quad(\mathrm{N}=\text { total tums })\)

And length of winding \(=(d) N=\ell\)

\((d=\text { diameter of wire })\)

Self inductance \(=\mu_{0} \mathrm{n}^{2} \mathrm{A} \ell\)

\(=\mu_{0} n^{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3} a^{2}}{4}\right) d N\)

\(\alpha a^{2} N \propto a\)

So self inductance will become \(3\) times.
