Question : An inductor of inductance L is first unwound and then rewound. The radius of the new loop is half and has same length. Find new self inductance.

Solution :
Here
Initial Length (l) = Final Length (l) (Given)
N × 2πr = N' × 2πr'
Nr = N'r'
Nr = N' × (r/2)
2N = N'
N' = 2N
Initial Area of cross section of each loop, A = πr2
Final Area of cross section of each loop,
A' = πr'2
A' = π(r/2)2
A' = πr2/4
A' = A/4
Self Inductance of an Inductor, L = μ₀N2A/l
New Self Inductance of the coil,
L' = μ₀N'2A'/l
L' = μ₀(2N)2(A/4)/l
L' = μ₀4N2(A/4)/l
L' = μ₀N2A/l
L'=L
∴ New Self inductance will be same as the initial one i.e. equal to L.
