An ideal solenoid of length \(\ell\), area \(A\), and \(N\) turns.
An ideal solenoid of length \(\ell\) and cross-sectional area \(A\) consists of \(N\) tightly wound turns of wire. When the number of turns is doubled to \(2N\) while keeping both \(\ell\) and \(A\) constant, the self-inductance of the solenoid quadruples. Which of the following best explains why the self-inductance quadruples rather than doubles?
