  1. Self-inductance L of a coil is defined by the relationship:
  2. The self-inductance of a solenoid with N turns, length l, and cross-sectional area A is:
  3. A solenoid has 1000 turns, length 0.50 m, and radius 0.020 m. Calculate its self-inductance (in henries). (Use mu_0 = 4pi times 10^-7 T·m/A, pi approx 3.14)
  4. The energy U stored in an inductor with inductance L carrying current I is:
