STANDARD Physics Self Inductance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

The self inductance of a long solenoid cannot be increased by

A

increasing its area of cross section

B

decreasing its length

C

increasing the current through it

D

increasing the number of turns in it

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The self inductance of a long solenoid is given by L = (μ₀N²A)/l, where N = number of turns, l = length, and A = cross-sectional area. The inductance does not depend on the current flowing through it.
