The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We know that, $L=\frac{\mu_{0} \mu_{r} N^{2} A}{l}$ Here, $\frac{L_{2}}{L_{1}}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mu_{r} N_{2}^{2} \wedge}{\mu_{0} N_{1}^{2} A}$ $\frac{L_{2}}{L_{1}}=\mu_{r}\left(\frac{N_{2}}{N_{1}}\right)^{2}$ $L_{2}=L_{1} \mu_{r}\left(\frac{N_{2}}{N_{1}}\right)^{2}$ $L_{2}=1 \times 10^{3} \times 500 \times\left(\frac{50}{100}\right)^{2}$ $L_{2}=125 \times 10^{-3} H$ $L_{2}=125 \,mH$

Inductance

Inductance is a key parameter in electrical and electronic circuit designs. Like resistance and capacitance, it is a basic electrical measurement that affects all circuits to some degree.

Inductance is used in many areas of electrical and electronic systems and circuits. The electronic components can be in a variety of forms and may be called by a variety of names: coils, inductors, chokes, transformers, . . . Each of these may also have a variety of different variants: with and without cores and the core materials may be of different types.

There are two ways in which inductance is used:

  • Self-inductance: Self-inductance is the property of a circuit, often a coil, whereby a change in current causes a change in voltage in that circuit due to the magnetic effect of caused by the current flow. It can be seen that self-inductance applies to a single circuit - in other words it is an inductance, typically within a single coil. This effect is used in single coils or chokes.
  • Mutual-inductance: Mutual inductance is an inductive effect where a change in current in one circuit causes a change in voltage across a second circuit as a result of a magnetic field that links both circuits. This effect is used in transformers.
