JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 11th January Evening Slot - No. 11)

A copper wire is wound on a wooden frame, whose shape is that of an equilateral triangle. If the linear dimension of each side of the frame is increased by a factor of 3, keeping the number of turns of the coil per unit length of the frame the same, then the self inductance of the coil:
decreases by a factor of $$9\sqrt 3 $$
increases by a factor of 27
decreases by a factor of 9
increases by a factor of 3

Explanation

Total length L will remain constant

L = (3a) N        (N = total turns)

and length of winding = (d) N

                         (d = diameter of wire)

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 11th January Evening Slot Physics - Electromagnetic Induction Question 100 English Explanation
self inductance = $$\mu $$0n2A$$\ell $$

= $$\mu $$0n2$$\left( {{{\sqrt 3 {a^2}} \over 4}} \right)$$ dN

$$ \propto $$ a2 N $$ \propto $$ a

So self inductance will become 3 times
