A circuit in which there is a current of 5 A is changed so that the current falls to zero in 0.1s. If an average e.m.f of 200 volts is induced, what is the self-inductance of the circuit?
Correct answer: A. 4 henrys
- A. 4 henrys
- B. 8 henrys
- C. 12 henrys
- D. 16 henrys
- E. 20 henrys
Explanation
Initial currect= I1 = 5.0 AFinal current= I2= 0 Achange in current , dI= I1 -I2 =5ATime taken for the change= 0.1sAvg emf= 200Ve=L di/dtL= e /di/dt200/5/01 = 4HHence the self inductance of the coil is 4H.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
