What is the effect on self inductance of a solenoid, if a core of soft iron is placed in it?

Open in App

Solution

A core of soft iron is placed in a solenoid will enhance the self-induction as the magnetic flux linkage between the coils is improved due to high magnetic permeability of soft iron.
