    The current in a coil decreases from 1 A to 0.2 A in 10 s. The coefficient of self-inductance, if induced emf is 0.4 V, is:

    A)  5 H                                        

    B)         3 H                        

    C)         4 H                                        

    D)         2 H

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: emf induced in the circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change of current.  emf induced \[\propto \]rate of change of current i.e.,        \[e\propto \frac{di}{dt}\] when the proportionality constant is removed, the some constant L comes here. Hence,  \[e=-L\frac{di}{dt}\]                       ?(i) Given,   \[e=0.4\,V,\]                 \[\frac{di}{dt}=\frac{0.2-1}{10}=-\frac{0.8}{10}=-0.08A/s\] \[\therefore \]  \[0.4=-L(-0.08)\] or            \[L=\frac{0.4}{0.08}=5H\] Note: The minus sign in Eq. (i) is a reflection of Lenzs law.
