The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the context of self-inductance of a long solenoid. **Step 1: Understanding the Assertion** The assertion states that "The self-inductance of a long solenoid is proportional to the area of cross-section and length of the solenoid." - The formula for the self-inductance \( L \) of a solenoid is given by: \[ L = \mu_r \mu_0 \frac{N^2 A}{l} \] where: - \( \mu_r \) is the relative permeability of the core, - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, - \( N \) is the total number of turns, - \( A \) is the cross-sectional area, - \( l \) is the length of the solenoid. From the formula, we can see that \( L \) is directly proportional to the area \( A \) and the length \( l \). Thus, the assertion is **true**. **Step 2: Understanding the Reason** The reason states that "Self-inductance of a solenoid is independent of the number of turns per unit length." - However, from the formula, we can see that \( L \) is actually dependent on the number of turns per unit length \( n \) (which is \( N/l \)). The self-inductance increases with the square of the number of turns per unit length. Therefore, the reason is **false**. **Step 3: Conclusion** Now, we can summarize our findings: - The assertion is true. - The reason is false. - Since the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, the answer to the question is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. Thus, the final answer is **Option C**: The assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---
