SUMMARY

The inductance of a solenoid with a cylindrical rod inserted inside is determined by the solenoid's physical parameters and the rod's magnetic permeability. Given a solenoid with radius R, length L, N turns, and carrying a current I, the presence of a rod with permeability μ and radius R/2 alters the inductance. The formula for the inductance L of the solenoid can be modified to account for the rod's influence, which enhances the magnetic field within the solenoid due to the rod's permeability.
