  • Question
  • Inductance is indirectly proportional to the square of the number of turns, the permeability, and the cross-sectional area of the core.


  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False

  • Correct Answer
  • False 

    Explanation
    Some factors that affect the inductance of a coil include:

    1. The inductance is proportional to the square of the number of turns;
    2. The inductance increases directly as the permeability of the core material increases;
    3. The inductance increases directly as the cross-sectional area increases; and
    4. The inductance decreases as its length increases.
