The self-inductance of an air-core inductor (solenoid) is $0.03 \ mH$. By introducing an iron core into the inductor, the self-inductance increases to $30 \ mH$. The relative permeability of the core used is:

  • A
    $10^{-3}$
  • B
    $10^{-2}$
  • C
    $10^2$
  • D
    $10^3$

The magnitude of the induced emf in a coil of inductance $30 \ mH$ in which the current changes from $6 \ A$ to $2 \ A$ in $2 \ s$ is: (in $V$)

Define the unit of self-inductance. On which factors does self-inductance depend?

When the current in a coil changes from $8 \; A$ to $2 \; A$ in $3 \times 10^{-2} \; s$,the $e.m.f.$ induced in the coil is $2 \; V$. The self-inductance of the coil (in $mH$) is:

The self-inductance $(L)$ produced by a solenoid of length '$l$' having '$N$' number of turns and cross-sectional area '$A$' is given by the formula (where $\phi$ = magnetic flux,$\mu_0$ = permeability of vacuum).

With the help of $L = \frac{N\phi}{I}$ and $\varepsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt}$,give two definitions of self-inductance.
