Expert Solution
Introduction:
  • When AC current passes through an inductor the magnetic field created will induce an emf inside the inductor which will resist the flow of current. This tendency is called inductance.

 

  • The inductance of the solenoid is directly proportional to the square of the number of turns and cross-sectional area, and it is inversely proportional to the length of the solenoid. It is given by,

L=μ0N2Al

Here, μ0 is the permeability of free space, N is the number of turns of the solenoid, A is the area, and l is the length of the solenoid.
