  1. When number of turns in a coil is trippled, without any change in the length of coil, its self inductance becomes?
    1. Nine times
    2. Three times
    3. Six times
    4. One–third
Correct Option: A

Self-inductance is proportional to the number of turns per unit length. The original self-inductance
(L) is given by

L =
μoπ(N)2/r
2

On tripling N, the new self-inductance becomes L
=
μoπ(3N)2/r
= 9 ×
μoπ(N)2/r
22


= 9L
