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.


What happen if lay ratio of standard conductor is increase?

Increasing the lay ratio of a standard conductor means increasing the length of lay, which can result in reduced flexibility and increased overall diameter of the conductor. This can impact the handling and installation of the conductor. Additionally, it can affect the electrical performance by increasing inductance and potentially introducing more losses due to skin and proximity effects.


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.


What two factors affect the mutual inductance of two coils?

The mutual inductance of two coils is primarily affected by the number of turns in each coil and the relative positioning of the coils. Increasing the number of turns in either coil will increase mutual inductance, while placing the coils closer together will also increase mutual inductance as more magnetic flux is coupled between them.


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.
