To get an idea of the order of magnitude of inductance, calculate the self-inductance in henries for a solenoid with 900 loops of wire wound on a rod 6 cm long with radius 1 cm?

Answer:

The  self-inductance is  [tex]L = 0.0053 \ H[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

      The number of loops is  [tex]N = 900[/tex]

      The  length of the rod is  [tex]l =6 \ cm = 0.06 \ m[/tex]

      The radius of the rod is  [tex]r = 1 \ cm = 0.01 \ m[/tex]

The  self-inductance for the solenoid is mathematically represented as

        [tex]L = \frac{\mu_o * A * N^2 }{l}[/tex]

Now the cross-sectional of the solenoid is mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

substituting values  

         [tex]A =3.142 * 0.01 ^2[/tex]

        [tex]A = 3.142 *10^{-4} \ m^2[/tex]

and  [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with a value  [tex]\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]

    substituting values into above equation

          [tex]L = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} ^2* 3.142*10^{-4} * 900^2 }{0.06}[/tex]

          [tex]L = 0.0053 \ H[/tex]
