    The inductance L of a solenoid depends upon its radius R as:

    A) \[L\propto R\]                

    B) \[L\propto l/R\]

    C) \[L\propto {{R}^{2}}\]             

    D) \[L\propto {{R}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c) \[L\propto {{R}^{2}}\] The inductance of a solenoid is \[L={{\mu }_{0}}{{n}^{2}}Al\] where A is the area of cross-section of the solenoid. l its length and n is the number of turns per unit length. As \[A=\pi {{R}^{2}}\], where R is the radius of the solenoid. \[\therefore L={{\mu }_{0}}{{n}^{2}}\pi {{R}^{2}}l\Rightarrow L\propto {{R}^{2}}\]
