Question
A long solenoid has 500 turns. When a current of $$2\,A$$ is passed through it, the resulting magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid is $$4 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,Wb.$$ The self-inductance of the solenoid is
A.
$$2.5\,H$$
B.
$$2\,H$$
C.
$$1\,H$$
D.
$$4\,H$$
Answer :
$$1\,H$$
Solution :
Net flux through solenoid is, $${\phi _{{\text{net}}}} = N\phi $$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {\phi _{{\text{net}}}} = 500 \times 4 \times {10^{ - 3}} \cr
& = 2\,Wb \cr} $$
where, $$\phi =$$ flux through each turn, and
$$N =$$ total number of turns
Also, $${\phi _{{\text{net}}}} = Li = 2\,Wb$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Now,}}\,\,L \times 2 = 2 \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{Self - inductance,}}\,L = 1\,H \cr} $$
