Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Inductance and Self-Induced EMF
Inductance is a property of an electrical conductor, such as a solenoid, that causes it to oppose changes in current. The self-induced electromotive force (emf) is generated when the current through the inductor changes, according to Faraday's law of induction. The emf is proportional to the rate of change of current and the inductance of the coil, given by the formula emf = -L * (di/dt), where L is the inductance.

Magnetic Flux
Magnetic flux through a surface is the product of the magnetic field and the area it penetrates, perpendicular to the field. It is a measure of the quantity of magnetism, taking into account the strength and extent of a magnetic field. For a solenoid, the magnetic flux through each turn is given by the formula Φ = B * A, where B is the magnetic field and A is the cross-sectional area of the solenoid.

Solenoid and Its Magnetic Field
A solenoid is a coil of wire designed to create a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is uniform and parallel to the axis of the solenoid, and its strength is given by B = μ₀ * (N/L) * I, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, N is the number of turns, L is the length of the solenoid, and I is the current. This field is crucial for calculating the magnetic flux through each turn.
