An emf of 5 V is induced in an inductance when the current in it changes at a steady rate from 3 A to 2 A in 1 millisecond. The value of the inductance is

Correct answer: A. 5 mH

  • A. 5 mH
  • B. 5000 H
  • C. 5 H
  • D. zero

Explanation

A is the correct answer.The inductance (L) is given by L=−E⋅Δt/ΔI , where E is the induced emf, Δt is the change in time, and ΔI is the change in current. Substituting the given values, we get L=−5⋅10^−3/3-2 =5mH.The negative sign indicates the direction of the induced emf.

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.
