The total number of turns and cross-section area in a solenoid is fixed. However, its length L is varied by adjusting the separation between windings. The inductance of solenoid will be proportional to :
- A1/L2
- B1/L
- CL
- DL2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- For a long solenoid, the inductance is
where:
- = inductance of the solenoid
- = total number of turns
- = cross-sectional area
- = length of the solenoid
- According to the question:
- total number of turns is fixed
- cross-sectional area is fixed
- only the length is varied
So from the formula,
- Replacing by the given symbol for length,
- Now check the options:
- A: — incorrect
- B: — correct
- C: — incorrect
- D: — incorrect
Therefore, the correct option is B.
