The self inductance ' \(L\) ' of a solenoid of length ' \(l\) ' and area of cross-section 'A', with a fixed number of turns ' \(\mathrm{N}\) ' increases as

  1. A both \(l\) and \(\mathrm{A}\) increase
  2. B \(l\) decreases and \(\mathrm{A}\) increases
  3. C \(l\) increases and A decreases
  4. D both \(l\) and A decrease
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(l\) decreases and \(\mathrm{A}\) increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation for self-inductance is:
\(\mathrm{L}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{~A}}{l}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The self-inductance \(\mathrm{L}\) of a solenoid of length \(l\) and area of cross section ' \(\mathrm{A}\) ', with a fixed number of turns " \(\mathrm{N}\) ' increases as / decreáses and \(\mathrm{A}\) increases.
