I present my Investigatory project in Physics on the topic

“The factors on which the self-inductance of a coil depends” with pride.

This project wouldn't have been feasible without the proper and rigorous
guidance of my Physics teacher HRP Sir who guided me throughout this
project in every possible Way An investigatory project involves various
difficult lab experiments which have to be carried out by the student to
obtain the observations and conclude the report on a meaningful note
These experiments are very critical and in the case of failure, may result
in unfortunate consequences. Thereby. I would like to thank both HRP
Sir and Lab Asst. Mrutanjay Sir for providing me with this opportunity
and guiding me on a step by step basis and ensuring that I completed all
my experiments with ease.

Rigorous hard work has been put in the making of this project to ensure
that it proves to be the best I hope that this project will prove to be a
specimen of innate wisdom for the next generation of students and will
guide them in every possible way.

Certificate of completion
This is to certify that Tushar Patnaik of class XII-H, SAI
International School has successfully completed the
assigned project under the guidance of HRP Sir. The
project is up to satisfaction and follows the guidelines
issued by CBSE.

Introduction
There are four basic factors of induction
construction determining the amount of
inductance created their factors all indicate
inductance by affecting how much magnetic
field force (current through the inductors wire
coil).

The Factors Are:

 NUMBER OF WIRE WARPS
 COIL AREA
 COIL LENGTH
 CORE MATERIAL

AIM:
To study the factors on which the self-
inductance of a coil depends by overserving
the effect of this coil, when put in series
with resistor (bulb) in a circuit fed by by an
A.C. source of adjustable frequency.

Apparatus:
A coil of large tuns, a.c. source of adjustable
frequency, an electrical bulb, (6V) a.c
ammeter of suitable range rheostat, a soft
iron rod, one way key, connecting wires etc.

THEORY:
Self inductance is the property of coil which
opposes the change in current in current
through it. The self inductance of coil(long
solenoid) is
 L = µ0 µ𝑟 𝑁2 𝐴/l
