(N/A) For a very long solenoid of length $l$,cross-sectional area $A$,and number of turns $N$,the magnetic field $B$ inside the solenoid is given by $B = \mu_0 n I$,where $n = N/l$ is the number of turns per unit length and $I$ is the current.
The magnetic flux $\phi$ through each turn is $\phi = B \cdot A = \mu_0 (N/l) I A$.
The total magnetic flux linkage is $N\phi = N \cdot \mu_0 (N/l) I A = (\mu_0 N^2 A / l) I$.
Since the total flux linkage is equal to $LI$,where $L$ is the self-inductance,we have $L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{l}$.

$A$ copper wire is wound on a wooden frame,whose shape is that of an equilateral triangle. If the linear dimension of each side of the frame is increased by a factor of $3$,keeping the number of turns of the coil per unit length of the frame the same,then the self-inductance of the coil:

An air-cored coil has a self-inductance of $0.1 \ H$. $A$ soft iron core of relative permeability $1000$ is introduced,and the number of turns is reduced to $\frac{1}{10}$ of the original. The new value of self-inductance is:

Two coils $A$ and $B$ have $180$ and $360$ turns respectively. $A$ current of $1 \text{ A}$ flows through both the coils. Due to a current of $1 \text{ A}$ in coil $A$, a flux per turn of $0.8 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb}$ is linked with coil $A$. Due to a current of $1 \text{ A}$ in coil $B$, a flux per turn of $1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Wb}$ is linked with coil $B$. The self-inductance of coil $A$ is $L_A$ and the self-inductance of coil $B$ is $L_B$. The ratio $L_A$ to $L_B$ is:
