    Find the inductance L of a solenoid of length I whose windings are made of material of density D and resistivity p. The winding resistance is R.

    A)  \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi l}.\frac{Rm}{\rho D}\]                              

    B)  \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi R}.\frac{lm}{\rho D}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi l}.\frac{{{R}^{2}}m}{\rho D}\]               

    D)  \[\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{2\pi R}.\frac{lm}{\rho D}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     For a solenoid\[L={{\mu }_{0}}{{N}^{2}}\frac{A}{l}.\]If\[x\]is the length of the wire and a is the area of cross-section, then \[R=\frac{\rho x}{a}\]and \[m=axD\] \[Rm=\frac{\rho x}{a}.axD,\] \[\therefore \]  \[x=\sqrt{\frac{Rm}{\rho D}}\] Also,      \[x=2\pi rN,N=\frac{x}{2\pi r}\] \[\left( \because L=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{N}^{2}}A}{l} \right)\] \[\therefore \]  \[L={{\mu }_{0}}{{\left( \frac{x}{2\pi r} \right)}^{2}}.\frac{\pi {{r}^{2}}}{l}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi l}.\frac{Rm}{\rho D}\]
