As expected, the self-inductance is a constant determined by only the physical properties of the toroid.
Check Your Understanding (a) Calculate the self-inductance of a solenoid that is tightly wound with wire of diameter 0.10 cm, has a cross-sectional area of , and is 40 cm long.

Check Your Understanding (a) What is the magnetic flux through one turn of a solenoid of self-inductance when a current of 3.0 A flows through it? Assume that the solenoid has 1000 turns and is wound from wire of diameter 1.0 mm. (b) What is the cross-sectional area of the solenoid?

Does self-inductance depend on the value of the magnetic flux? Does it depend on the current through the wire? Correlate your answers with the equation
Self-inductance is proportional to the magnetic flux and inversely proportional to the current. However, since the magnetic flux depends on the current I , these effects cancel out. This means that the self-inductance does not depend on the current. If the emf is induced across an element, it does depend on how the current changes with time.
Would the self-inductance of a 1.0 m long, tightly wound solenoid differ from the self-inductance per meter of an infinite, but otherwise identical, solenoid?
Discuss how you might determine the self-inductance per unit length of a long, straight wire.
Consider the ends of a wire a part of an RL circuit and determine the self-inductance from this circuit.
The self-inductance of a coil is zero if there is no current passing through the windings. True or false?
How does the self-inductance per unit length near the center of a solenoid (away from the ends) compare with its value near the end of the solenoid?
The magnetic field will flare out at the end of the solenoid so there is less flux through the last turn than through the middle of the solenoid.

0.4 A/s
When a camera uses a flash, a fully charged capacitor discharges through an inductor. In what time must the 0.100-A current through a 2.00-mH inductor be switched on or off to induce a 500-V emf?
A coil with a self-inductance of 2.0 H carries a current that varies with time according to Find an expression for the emf induced in the coil.
A solenoid 50 cm long is wound with 500 turns of wire. The cross-sectional area of the coil is What is the self-inductance of the solenoid?
A coil with a self-inductance of 3.0 H carries a current that decreases at a uniform rate . What is the emf induced in the coil? Describe the polarity of the induced emf.
0.15 V. This is the same polarity as the emf driving the current.
