  • A
    $\mu_0 n^2 \pi r^2 l$
  • B
    $\mu_0 n^2 r l$
  • C
    $(\mu_0 / 2\pi) n^2 r l$
  • D
    $2\mu_0 n^2 \pi r^2 l$

The ratio of the number of turns per unit length of two solenoids $A$ and $B$ is $1: 3$ and the lengths of $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $1: 2$. If the two solenoids have the same cross-sectional area,the ratio of the self-inductances of the solenoids $A$ and $B$ is

The self-inductance of a coil is $5 \, H$. If a current of $1 \, A$ changes to $2 \, A$ within $5 \, s$ through the coil,the magnitude of the induced $e.m.f.$ will be $... \, V$.

Two coils $A$ and $B$ have $180$ and $360$ turns respectively. $A$ current of $1 \text{ A}$ flows through both the coils. Due to a current of $1 \text{ A}$ in coil $A$, a flux per turn of $0.8 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb}$ is linked with coil $A$. Due to a current of $1 \text{ A}$ in coil $B$, a flux per turn of $1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb}$ is linked with coil $B$. The self-inductance of coil $A$ is $L_A$ and the self-inductance of coil $B$ is $L_B$. The ratio $L_A$ to $L_B$ is:

$A$ solenoid has a length of $1 \,m$ and a cross-sectional area of $0.02 \,m^2$. If the number of turns in the solenoid is $5000$, then the self-inductance of the solenoid is: (in $\pi \,H$)
