Physics Question on Inductance

The self inductance of a long solenoid carrying current is independent of

A

its length

B

The current

C

Its cross-sectional area

D

Magnetic permeability of the core

Answer

The current

Explanation

Solution

Self-Inductance of a solenoid is given by L=μ0N2AlL=\frac{\mu_{0} N^{2} A}{l} where, N=N= number of turns in solenoid l=l= length of the solenoid A=A= area of one turn of solenoid. The self-inductance of solenoid does not depend on current passing through it.
