When the current of a coil changes from 8A to 2A in 3×10^−2 s, the emf induced in the coil is 2V. The self-inductance of the coil (in mH)

Correct answer: D. 10

  • A. 1
  • B. 5
  • C. 20
  • D. 10

Explanation

D is the correct answer. The formula for induced emf (E) due to change in current in a coil is given by E=−LΔI/Δt , where L is the self-inductance of the coil, ΔI is the change in current, and Δt is the change in time. Rearranging the formula, we have L=−E⋅Δt/ΔI . Substituting the given values, we get L=-2*3×10^−2/2-8 =10 mH.

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.
