RE-NEET 2024 Physics Self Inductance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Let us consider two solenoids A and B, made from same magnetic material of relative permeability μᵣ and equal area of cross-section. Length of A is twice that of B and the number of turns per unit length in A is half that of B. The ratio of self inductances of the two solenoids, Lₐ : Lᵦ is

A

1 : 2

B

2 : 1

C

8 : 1

D

1 : 8

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The self-inductance L is proportional to the square of the number of turns per unit length and inversely proportional to the length. Calculating gives Lₐ : Lᵦ = 1 : 2.
