Because there is more room in the cable for the magnetic field to form. The magnetic flux density is set by the current in the cable, and with a bigger space that flux density produces more actual flux. The inductance is the flux divided by the current, so a wider cable has more inductance.

But if the inner conductor is also increased in size by the same ratio, the effect is negated and the inductance is the same as before.

How does the permeability of a coil affect mutual inductance?

Since a coil contains numerous loops, more of the conductor is affectedÊ by the magnetic field. An increase in permeability of the core results in an increase in the inductance of the coil.


How can you increase the conductivity of a semi conductor?

The conductivity of a semi-conductor can be increased by raising the temperature of the semi-conductor .


What will happen to inductance if reactance increase?

Reactance increase means the value of the inductance is already increased because thease two factors are directly proportional to eachother. we can see from the formula ; inductive reactance xL =2(3.14)FL

If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?

I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.


If turns of winding were added to an inductor it inductance would?

How would you wind a coil which has a resistance but essentially no inductance?

I wouldn't. I doubt this is possible. Wire, by definition will have inductance. The inductance will increase as the frequency increases, so I guess you could specify a frequency that is extremely low to use the coil at.


How do you increase the inductance in a inductor?

Since we know that inductance of an inductor depends on the length of inductor by the formula L=muAN*N/l, where l is the length of inductor. So by varying the length of inductor we say that inductance of inductor varies.


What can an increase in income be expected to cause?

This will depend on whether this increase is temporary or permanent (winning the lottery or increased salary). A temporary increase in income will mainly lead to a temporary increase in savings, whereas a permanent increase in income will increase current consumption. This is referred to as the permanent income hypothesis.
