MCQ
A coil is wound as a transformer of rectangular cross-section. If all the linear dimensions of the transformer are increased by a factor $2$ and the number of turns per unit length of the coil remain the same, the self inductance increased by a factor of
  • A
    $16$
  • B
    $12$
  • $8$
  • D
    $4$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$8$
c
(c) Self inductance $L = {\mu _0}{N^2}A\, /l = {\mu _0}{n^2}lA$
Where $n$ is the number of turns per unit length and $N$ is the total number of turns and $N = nl$
In the given question n is same. $A$ is increased $4$ times and $l$ is increased $2$ times and hence $L$ will be increased $8$ times.
