Self-Inductance & Energy

Inductance per unit length near the middle of a long solenoid is (μ0=(\mu_0 = permeability of free space, n=n = number of turns per unit length, d=d = the diameter of the solenoid)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. For a long solenoid L=μ0n2AlL = \mu_0 n^2 A l, so Ll=μ0n2A\dfrac{L}{l} = \mu_0 n^2 A.
  2. A=πd24A = \dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}, so Ll=μ0πn2d24=μ0π(nd2)2\dfrac{L}{l} = \mu_0 \pi \dfrac{n^2 d^2}{4} = \mu_0 \pi \left(\dfrac{nd}{2}\right)^2
  3. So the answer is (a).
