Define self -inductance and its `S.I.` unit. Derive an expression for self- industance of a long, air-cored solenoid of length , radius `r`, and having `N` number of turns.

Answer» The self inductance of a coil is equal to the induced `emf` set up in the coil, when the current passing through it change at the unit rate
The `SI` unit of self inductance is henry.
Self inductance of a long solenoid:
Consider a long solenoid of length `l` number of turns `N` and radius.Suppose current `I` flows though it.Magnetic field set up in the coil is `B=(mu_(0)NI)/l`
Flux through each turn=`BA=(mu_(0)NI)/l`
But `phi=Li`
`phi=(Nxxmu_(0)NI)/l =(mu_(0)N^(2)IA)/l`
`therefore` Self inductance `L=phi/I=(mu_(0)N^(2)A)/l`
