Quick Summary:

Given: Self-inductance per unit length of a cylindrical conductor due to internal flux is 1 kH/m.

ЁЯУРMAMath SolutionDirect Formula
ЁЯУЛ Given

Self-inductance per unit length of a cylindrical conductor due to internal flux is 1 kH/m.

ЁЯФв Formula Used

Lint=╬╝08╧А=0.5├Ч10тИТ7┬аH/mL_{int} = \frac{\mu_0}{8\pi} = 0.5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ H/m}LintтАЛ=8╧А╬╝0тАЛтАЛ=0.5├Ч10тИТ7┬аH/m

ЁЯФв Step-by-Step Solution
1

Identify internal inductance formula

The internal self-inductance per unit length for a long cylindrical conductor is independent of its radius rrr. The formula is derived as Lint=╬╝08╧АL_{int} = \frac{\mu_0}{8\pi}LintтАЛ=8╧А╬╝0тАЛтАЛ Henry per meter.

Lint=╬╝08╧АL_{int} = \frac{\mu_0}{8\pi}LintтАЛ=8╧А╬╝0тАЛтАЛ

2

Analyze the dependency on dimensions

From the formula Lint=╬╝08╧АL_{int} = \frac{\mu_0}{8\pi}LintтАЛ=8╧А╬╝0тАЛтАЛ, we observe that the term involves only the permeability of the medium ╬╝0\mu_0╬╝0тАЛ. There is no variable for the radius rrr or diameter ddd in the expression for internal inductance.

LintтЙаf(r)L_{int} \neq f(r)LintтАЛюАа=f(r)

3

Conclusion

Since internal inductance is independent of the diameter of the conductor, doubling the diameter will result in no change to the internal inductance value.

Lnew=Lold=1┬аkH/mL_{new} = L_{old} = 1 \text{ kH/m}LnewтАЛ=LoldтАЛ=1┬аkH/m

тЬЕ

B is correct because the internal inductance of a cylindrical conductor is a constant value independent of its cross-sectional dimensions.

ЁЯТб EXAM TIP

Note that while internal inductance is independent of radius, external inductance depends on the GMR (Geometric Mean Radius) and the distance between conductors, which are affected by conductor geometry.
