Question

A solenoidal inductor for a printed circuit board is being redesigned. To save weight, the number of turns is reduced by one-ninth, with the geometric dimensions kept the same. By how much must the current change if the energy stored in the inductor is to remain the same?

  • It must be eighty-one times larger.
  • It must be nine times larger.    
  • It should be left the same.
  • It should be one-ninth as large.
  • No change in the current can compensate for the reduction in the number of turns.
