    A constant current i is maintained in a solenoid. Which of the following quantities will increase if an iron rod is inserted in the solenoid along its axis?
    (a) magnetic field at the centre
    (b) magnetic flux linked with the solenoid
    (c) self-inductance of the solenoid
    (d) rate of Joule heating.
    digAnsr:   a,b,c
    Ans : (a) magnetic field at the centre
    (b) magnetic flux linked with the solenoid
    (c) self-inductance of the solenoid
    Iron rod has high permeability. When it is inserted inside a solenoid the magnetic field inside the solenoid increases. As magnetic field increases inside the solenoid thus the magnetic flux also increases. The Self-inductance (L) of the coil is directly proportional to the permeability of the material inside the solenoid. As the permeability inside the coil increases. Therefore, the self-inductance will also increase.
