Options:
  • A $\mathrm{L}=\mathrm{N} \phi$
  • B $\mathrm{L}=\mu_0 \mathrm{NA} l$
  • C $\mathrm{L}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{~A}}{l}$
  • D $\mathrm{L}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{NA}}{l}$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{L}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{~A}}{l}$
Magnetic field inside the solenoid is, $\mathrm{B}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{NI}}{l}$ Flux inside the coil, $\phi=\mathrm{N}(\mathrm{BA})$
$\therefore \quad \phi=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{IA}}{l}$
Also, self inductance, $\mathrm{L}=\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{I}}=\frac{\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{IA}}{l}}{\mathrm{I}}$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{L}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{~A}}{l}$
