The property of coil by which a counter e.m.f. is induced in it when the current through the coil changes is known as__________?
Correct answer: A. self-inductance
- A. self-inductance
- B. mutual inductance
- C. series aiding inductance
- D. capacitance
Explanation
Self-inductance is the property by which a changing current in a coil induces an opposing emf in that same coil. Mutual inductance instead involves voltage induced in a separate nearby coil.
