  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    A 3H inductor has 2000 turns. How many turns must be added to increase the inductance to 5H?
    Solutions

    Concept:

    Inductance:

    • The induced emf across a coil is directly proportional to the rate of change of current through it. The proportionality constant in that relation is known as inductance.
    • It is denoted by L and inductance of a coil is given by:

    L=μN2Al

    N = number of turns in the coil

    A = Area of the cross-section

    l = length of the coil

    μ = magnetic permeability of the coil

    Calculation:

    Given that L1 = 3 H, N1 = 2000 and L2 = 5 H

    Inductance of a coil 

    L=μN2Al

    Now we can see that

    L ∝ N2

    L1L2=N12N22N22=N12×L2L1N2=N1L2L2N2=200053=2582

    Thus, additional number of turns = 2582 - 2000 = 582

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    The energy stored in the magnetic field of a solenoid carrying a current of 10 A is 0.5 J. What will be the stored energy if the number of turns is doubled and the current is halved?
    Solutions

    Concept-

    • The coil which stores magnetic energy in a magnetic field is called as inductor.
    • The property of an inductor which causes the emf to generate by a change in electric current is called as inductance of the inductor.
    • The SI unit of inductance is Henry (H).

     

    The magnetic potential energy stored in an inductor is given by:

    E=12LI2

    L=μN2Al = inductance of the inductor 

    I = current

    Calculation:

    Energy stored in the inductor is given as:

    The inductance of a coil is proportional to square of the number of turns

    L ∝ N2

    The stored energy if the number of turns is doubled and the current is halved

    I2 = I1/2, L2 = 4L1

    ∴ Stored energy is

    E=124L1(i12)2=12L1i12=0.5J
