  1. A becomes 4 times.
  2. B becomes 2 times.
  3. C gets halved.
  4. D remains unchanged.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) becomes 4 times.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Self-inductance of solenoid is,
\(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{l}=\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{~A}\)
where N is the total number of turns.
As \(\mathrm{L} \propto \mathrm{N}^2\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \frac{\mathrm{L}_2}{\mathrm{~L}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{N}_2}{\mathrm{~N}_1}\right)^2=(2)^2 \\
\therefore & \mathrm{~L}_2=4 \mathrm{~L}_1
\end{array}\)
