Correct answer
C. 1
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic induction at the centre of an air-core solenoid is given by B₀ = ₀ n I When the air-core is replaced by an iron-core of susceptibility , the magnetic induction becomes B₁ = n I The permeability of the core is related to the relative permeability _r and the permeability of free space ₀ by = ₀ _r The relative permeability is related to the magnetic susceptibility by _r = 1 + Substituting this into the expression for B₁ , we get B₁ = ₀ (1 + ) n I The ratio of the magnetic inductions is B₁ B₀ = ₀ (1 + ) n
