  3. C \(3.6 \mathrm{H}\)
  4. D \(6 \mathrm{H}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.2 \mathrm{H}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Flux linked with each turn of the solenoid is, \(\phi=2.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~Wb}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Total magnetic flux of the solenoid is,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \phi_{\mathrm{net}}=\mathrm{N} \phi \\
& \phi_{\mathrm{net}}=1500 \times 2.8 \times 10^{-3}=4.2 \mathrm{~Wb}
\end{aligned}\)
Flux can also be given by, \(\phi=\mathrm{LI}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The self-inductance of the solenoid is,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{L}=\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{I}}=\frac{4.2}{3.5} \\
& \mathrm{~L}=1.2 \mathrm{H}
\end{aligned}\)
