Inductance
Question

A circular coil of radius 5 cm has 500 turns of a wire. The approximate value of the coefficient of self-induction of the coil will be

Moderate
Solution

ϕ=LiNBA=Li

Since magnetic field at the centre of circular coil carrying current is given by B=μ04π·2πNir

  N·μ04π·2πNir·πr2=LiL=μ0N2πr2

Hence, self-inductance of a coil

=4π×10-7×500×500×π×0.052=25 mH
