Self-Inductance & Energy

A coil is wound on a core of rectangular crosssection. If all the linear dimensions of the core are increased by a factor 2 and number of turns per unit length of coil remains same, the self inductance increases by a factor of (Assume, permeability is same)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. L=μ0n2AlL = \mu_0 n^2 A l with nn fixed, so L∝Al∝(linear size)3L \propto A l \propto (\text{linear size})^3.
  2. Factor =23=8= 2^3 = 8
  3. So the answer is (b) 8.
