A long solenoid has 500 turns. When a current of 2 amperes is passed through it, the resulting magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid is 4 × 10–3 Wb. The self-inductance of the solenoid is -
A long solenoid has 500 turns. When a current of 2 amperes is passed through it, the resulting magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid is 4 × 10–3 Wb. The self-inductance of the solenoid is - Correct Answer 1.0 henry
Concept:
Solenoid: The solenoid is a long cylindrical coil of wire consisting of a large number of turns bound together very tightly.
Magnetic flux: The Number of magnetic lines of forces set up in a magnetic circuit is called magnetic flux. It is analogous to an electric current, I is an electric circuit. Its SI unit is Weber
The Self-Inductance of the solenoid is given by:
L = N (ϕB/ i)
L = self-inductance. N = number of turns. ,ϕB = Magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid, i = current flowing through the solenoid

Explanations:
Given that:
N = 500 , ϕB = 4 × 10-3 , i = 2 Ampere
L = (500 × 4 × 10-3) / 2
L = 1.0 henry.
hence option 1 is correct.
