An e.m.f. of 16 volts is induced in a coil of inductance 4H. The rate of change of current must be______________?

Correct answer: D. 4 A/s

  • A. 64 A/s
  • B. 32 A/s
  • C. 16 A/s
  • D. 4 A/s

Explanation

Using e = L(di/dt), the rate of change of current is di/dt = e/L = 16/4 = 4 A/s. The induced voltage depends on the rate of change of current, not on the current itself.
