6. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 11th May Evening Shift )

The self inductance ' L ' of a solenoid of length ' l ' and area of cross-section ' A ', with a fixed number of turns ' N ' increases as

A. both l and A increase

B. l decreases and A increases

C. l increases and A decreases

D. both l and A decrease

Correct Option is (B)

The equation for self-inductance is:

L = μ 0   N 2   A l

The self-inductance L of a solenoid of length l and area of cross section ' A ', with a fixed number of turns ' N ' increases as l decreases and A increases.

7. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 11th May Morning Shift )

A coil of radius ' r ' is placed on another coil (whose radius is R and current flowing through it is changing) so that their centres coincide ( R r ) . If both the coils are coplanar then the mutual inductance between them is ( μ 0 = permeability of free space)

A. μ 0 π R 2 2 r

B. μ 0 π r 2 2 R

C. μ 0 π r 2 R

D. μ 0 π R 2

Correct Option is (B)

Magnetic field, B = μ 0 I 2 R

Flux passing through the coil,

ϕ = B × π r 2 ϕ = μ 0 I 2 R × π r 2

Mutual Inductance, M = ϕ I

M = μ 0 I 2 R × π r 2 I = μ 0 π r 2 2 R

8. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 11th May Morning Shift )

When a current of 1   A is passed through a coil of 100 turns, the flux associated with it is 2.5 × 10 5   Wb / turn. The self inductance of the coil in millihenry is

A. 40

B. 25

C. 4

D. 2.5

Correct Option is (D)

Given: N = 100 , I = 1   A , ϕ = 2.5 × 10 5   Wb / turn

Self-inductance of coil,

L = N ϕ I L = 100 × 2.5 × 10 5 1 = 2.5 × 10 3 H = 2.5   mH

9. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 11th May Morning Shift )

The mutual inductance of a pair of coils, each of ' N ' turns, is ' M ' henry. If a current of ' I ' ampere in one of the coils is brought to zero in ' t ' second, the e. m. f. induced per turn in the other coil in volt is

A. MI t

B. NMI t

C. NM It

D. MI Nt

Correct Option is (A)

Emf induced due to mutual inductance per coil,

e = M Δ I Δ t

Here, the current changes from I to zero in time t seconds.

e = M I t

To manufacture a solenoid of length 1   m and inductance 1   mH , the length of thin wire required is

(cross - sectional diameter of a solenoid is considerably less than the length)

A. 0.10 m

B. 0.10 km

C. 1 km

D. 10 km

Correct Option is (B)

Inductance of solenoid, L = μ 0   N 2   A l .....(i)

where, l = length of solenoid.

A = π r 2 =  area of solenoid 

Let ' x ' be length of wire required.

x =  circumference of solenoid  ×  no. of turns  = 2 π rN . N = x 2 π r

Substituting in equation (i),

L = μ 0 ( x 2 4 π 2 r 2 ) × π r 2 l L = μ 0 x 2 4 π l x 2 = 4 π L l μ 0 x = 4 π L l μ 0

Substituting the values,

x = 4 × π × 10 3 × 1 4 π × 10 7 x = 10 4   m x = 0.10   km
