An iron ring 30 cm mean diameter is made of square of iron of 2 cm × 2 cm cross section and is uniformly wound with 400 turns of wire of 2 mm2 cross-section. Calculate the value of the self-inductance of the coil. Assume μr = 800.

Answer»

L = μ0 μr AN2/l. 

Here N = 400 ; A = 2 × 2 = 4 cm2 = 4 × 10−4 m2 ; l = 0.3π m ; μr = 800 

∴ L = 4π × 10−7 × 800 × 4 × 10−4 (400)2/0.3π = 68.3 mH 

Note. The cross-section of the wire is not relevant to the given question. 

Third Method for L 

It will be  (i) above that L = NΦ/I

∴ N Φ = LI or −NΦ = −L I

Differentiating both sides, we get - d/dt(NΦ) = - L x dI/dt (assuming L to be constant) ;

- N x dΦ/dt = - L x dI/dt

- N x dΦ/dt = self-induced e.m.f.

∴ eL = - L x dI/dt

If dI/dt = 1 ampere/second and eL = 1 volt, then L = 1 H
