Both the number of turns and the core length of an inductive coil are doubled. Its self-inductance will be_____________?

Correct answer: B. doubled

  • A. unaffected
  • B. doubled
  • C. halved
  • D. quadrupled

Explanation

Using L = μN²A/l, doubling the turns multiplies inductance by four, while doubling the core length divides it by two. The net change is therefore 4/2 = 2, or doubled.
