Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current 3 Question 4

####4. A copper wire is wound on a wooden frame, whose shape is that of an equilateral triangle. If the linear dimension of each side of the frame is increased by a factor of 3 , keeping the number of turns of the coil per unit length of the frame the same, then the self-inductance of the coil

(Main 2019, 11 Jan II)

(a) increases by a factor of 3 .

(b) decreases by a factor of 93.

(c) increases by a factor of 27 .

(d) decreases by a factor of 9 .

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (c)

Solution:

  1. Self-inductance of a coil is given by the relation

L=μ0n2Al

where, n is number of turns per unit length. Shape of the wooden frame is equilateral triangle.

Area of equilateral triangle,

A=34a2

(where, a is side of equilateral triangle)

Self-inductance, L=μ0n234a2l

Here, l=3a×N (where, N is total number of turns) L=μ0n234a2×3aN or La3

When each side of frame is increased by a factor 3 keeping the number of turns per unit length of the frame constant.

Then,

a=3a

L(a)3 or L(3a)3 or L27a3 or L=27L
