The role of inductance is equivalent to:

Correct answer: A. Inertia

  • A. Inertia
  • B. Force
  • C. Energy
  • D. Momentum

Explanation

Just like inertia tends to maintain its original state of motion or rest. Inductance does the same if it wants to maintain its state of the magnetic flux linking the conductor. Inertia resists any relative motion. Inductance also resists relative change in the magnetic flux linking the conductor.

About Faraday's Law

Faraday's law states that an induced electromotive force equals the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage through a circuit. Questions cover changing field, area, angle or motion, the negative sign associated with Lenz's law, and the distinction between induced emf and the current that may flow in a closed circuit.
