Consider a long solenoid of length ll and radius rr. If nn is the number of turns per unit length and μ0\mu_0 is the permeability of free space, the inductance of the solenoid is :

Options

  1. A2μ0πn2r2l2\mu_0\pi n^2r^2l
  2. Bμ0πn2r2l\mu_0\pi n^2r^2l
  3. Cμ0n2r2l\mu_0 n^2r^2l
  4. D(μ0/2π)n2r2l(\mu_0/2\pi)n^2r^2l

Correct answer

B. μ0πn2r2l\mu_0\pi n^2r^2l

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is given by B=μ0nIB = \mu_0 n I, where nn is the number of turns per unit length and II is the current.

The magnetic flux through a single turn of the solenoid is ϕ=BA=(μ0nI)(πr2)\phi = B A = (\mu_0 n I)(\pi r^2).

The total number of turns in the solenoid of length ll is N=nlN = n l.

The total magnetic flux linkage is Φ=Nϕ=(nl)(μ0nIπr2)=μ0πn2r2lI\Phi = N \phi = (n l)(\mu_0 n I \pi r^2) = \mu_0 \pi n^2 r^2 l I.

The self-inductance LL is defined by the relation Φ=LI\Phi = L I.

Substituting the value of Φ\Phi, we get L=μ0πn2r2lL = \mu_0 \pi n^2 r^2 l.

Answer: μ0πn2r2l\mu_0\pi n^2r^2l
