Expressions for Self-inductance:

  • The property of a coil that opposes any change in the amount of current flowing through it is called its self-inductance or inductance.


Factors affecting inductance

  • The greater the self-induced voltage, the greater the self-inductance of the coil, and hence larger is the opposition to the changing current.
  • According to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction, induced voltage in a coil depends upon the number of turns (N) and the rate of change of flux (dφ/dt) linking the coil.
     

Hence, the inductance of a coil depends upon these factors:

  • Shape and number of turns.
  • Relative permeability of the material surrounding the coil.
  • The speed with which the magnetic field changes.
     

Consider an iron-cored solenoid of dimensions as shown in Fig.

The inductance of the solenoid (L) is given by,

Now, flux (ϕ) = 

Where, NI is MMF and S is reluctance,

Differentiating ϕ wrt I,

Now, 

Now, inductive reactance (XL) = ωL = 

Conclusion:

From the above concept,

Inductance has the dimension of Flux/current.
