\mathrm{ \mathrm{L}=\mu_0 \mathrm{~N}^2 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{l}=\mu_0(\mathrm{~N} / 1)^2 \mathrm{Al} }
Here \mathrm{(\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{l}) } remains unchanged. When linear dimensions are increased by a factor 2, area becomes 4 times and the length becomes two times. Therefore, the coefficient of self induction becomes 8 times.
