A long solenoid has 1000 turns. When a current of 4 A4 \text{ A} flows through it, the magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid is 4×103 Wb4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb}. The self-inductance of the solenoid is:

A

3 H

B

2 H

C

1 H

D

4 H

Step-by-Step Solution

The self-inductance (LL) of a coil is defined by the relationship between the total magnetic flux linkage (NΦBN\Phi_B) and the current (II) flowing through it: NΦB=LIN\Phi_B = LI .

Given: Number of turns (NN) = 1000 Current (II) = 4 A4 \text{ A}

  • Magnetic flux per turn (ΦB\Phi_B) = 4×103 Wb4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb}

Calculation:

  1. Calculate Total Flux Linkage: Total Flux=N×ΦB\text{Total Flux} = N \times \Phi_B Total Flux=1000×(4×103) Wb=4 Wb\text{Total Flux} = 1000 \times (4 \times 10^{-3}) \text{ Wb} = 4 \text{ Wb}

  2. Calculate Self-Inductance (LL): Using the formula LI=NΦBLI = N\Phi_B: L=NΦBIL = \frac{N\Phi_B}{I} L=4 Wb4 AL = \frac{4 \text{ Wb}}{4 \text{ A}} L=1 HL = 1 \text{ H}
