A long solenoid has 1000 turns. When a current of 4 A flows through it the magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid is 4 × 10 - 3  Wb. The self-inductance of the solenoid is:
Options
- A4     H
- B3     H
- C2     H
- D1     H
Correct answer
D. 1     H
Step-by-step solution
In the case of self-inductance of the solenoid, magnetic flux ϕ is directly proportional to the current i flowing in the coil. The flux through each turn is equal to the flux linkage. The relation is given as N ϕ = L i , here N is the number of turns and L is inductance. So putting the given values, we get 1000 × 4 × 10 - 3 = L × 4 Thus, the self inductance is 1   H .
