Electromagnetic Induction

  1. A long solenoid has 500 turns. When a current of 2 ampere is passed  through it, the resulting magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid is 4 ×10–3 Wb. The self- inductance of the solenoid is
    1. 2.5 henry
    2. 2.0 henry
    3. 1.0 henry
    4. 40 henry
Correct Option: C

Total number of turns in the solenoid, N = 500 ​
Current, I = 2A. ​
Magnetic flux linked with each turn
= 4 × 10–3 Wb
As, φ = LI or N φ = LI

⇒ L =
1

=
500 × 4 × 10-3
henry = 1 H.
