Consider the self-inductance per unit length of solenoids at its centre and that near its ends. Which of the two is greater?

Self-inductance is given by



Self-inductance per unit length is given by



Where is the permeability of the free space


n is the number of turns per unit length


A is Area of a cross section of the solenoid


L is the self-inductance


l is the length the wire


Therefore, self-inductance at the centre and that near its ends will be the same since the self -induction is independent of the distance of the point from the centre of the solenoid.
