Solution
Inductance is the tendency of an electrical conductor to oppose a change in the electric current flowing through it. The flow of electric current creates a magnetic field around the conductor.
Inductance opposes the change in current.
The equation of the inductance can be written as: , where represents the number of turns, represents the flux, represents the current.
Inductance is proportional to the number of turns of the coil. so when number of turn increases inductance increase.
