(i) the number of turns of wire – the more turns the higher the
inductance
(ii) the cross-sectional area of the coil of wire – the greater the
cross-sectional area the higher the inductance
(iii) the presence of a magnetic core – when the coil is wound on
an iron core the same current sets up a more concentrated
magnetic field and the inductance is increased
(iv) the way the turns are arranged – a short thick coil of wire has
a higher inductance than a long thin one.
Two examples of practical inductors are shown in Fig. 9.1, and
the standard electrical circuit diagram symbols for air-cored and
iron-cored inductors are shown in Fig. 9.2

Problem. A flux of 25mWb links with a 1500 turn coil when a
current of 3A passes through the coil. Calculate (a) the inductance
of the coil, (b) the energy stored in the magnetic field, and (c) the
average e.m.f. induced if the current falls to zero in 150 ms.
Solution:
Problem. A 750 turn coil of inductance 3H carries a current of 2 A.
Calculate the flux linking the coil and the e.m.f. induced in
the coil when the current collapses to zero in 20 ms.
Solution:
9.4 Mutual inductance
