- B(A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
- C(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
- D(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
Correct answer
C. (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
Step-by-step solution
The self-inductance of a solenoid in terms of total turns N is L = ₀ N^2 A l . In terms of turns per unit length n ( n = N l ), it is L = ₀ n^2 A l . (A) Doubling N and doubling l : L' = ₀ (2N)^2 A 2l = 2 ( ₀ N^2 A l ) = 2L . (Matches II) (B) Doubling n and doubling l : L' = ₀ (2n)^2 A (2l) = 8 ( ₀ n^2 A l) = 8L . (Matches IV) (C) Halving N only: L' = ₀ (N/2)^2 A l = 1 4 L . (Matches III) (D) Inserting a core of _r = 4 : L' = ₀ _r n^2 A l = 4L . (Matches I) Therefore, the correct matching is (A) - (II), (B) - (IV),
