Self-Inductance & Energy

Two coils A and B have 180 and 360 turns respectively. The current of 1A flows through both the coils. Due to current of 1A in coil A, flux per turn of 0.8×10−30.8 \times 10^{-3} Wb is linked with coil A. Due to current of 1A in coil B, flux per turn of 1×10−31 \times 10^{-3} Wb is linked with coil B. The self inductance of coil A is LAL_A and the self inductance of coil B is LBL_B. The ratio LAL_A to LBL_B is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Self-inductance L=NϕIL = \frac{N\phi}{I} (flux per turn ϕ\phi).
  2. LA=180×0.8×10−31=0.144 HL_A = \frac{180 \times 0.8\times10^{-3}}{1} = 0.144\text{ H}, LB=360×1×10−31=0.36 HL_B = \frac{360 \times 1\times10^{-3}}{1} = 0.36\text{ H}
  3. LALB=0.1440.36=25\frac{L_A}{L_B} = \frac{0.144}{0.36} = \frac{2}{5}
  4. So the answer is (b) 25\frac{2}{5}.
