The self-inductance of a coil does not depend on

  • A.its radius
  • B.its number of turns
  • C.its area of cross-section
  • D.the current through it
  • E.permeability of the medium

Answer: D

Self-inductance does not depend on the current through it.

For a long solenoid, \(L = \frac{\mu N^{2}A}{l}\): it depends on the number of turns, the area of cross-section (and so the radius), the length and the permeability of the core. These are all properties of the coil's geometry and material.

The current sets the flux \(\phi = LI\) and the stored energy \(\frac{1}{2}LI^{2}\), but \(L\) itself is the ratio \(\frac{\phi}{I}\), which stays the same as the current changes (for a core without saturation).
