Concept:

Self-Induction

  • Whenever the electric current passing through a coil changes, the magnetic flux linked with it will also change.
  • As a result of this, in accordance with Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction, an emf is induced in the coil which opposes the change that causes it.
  • This phenomenon is called ‘self-induction’ and the emf induced is called back emf, current so produced in the coil is called induced current.

 

Induced e.m.f can be given as

\(⇒ V_{l}=-L\frac{dI}{dt}\)     -----(1)

Where 

VL = induced voltage in volts

N = self-inductance of the coil

\(\frac{dI}{dt}=\) rate of change of current in ampere/second

Calculation:

Given:  di/dt = 5 A/sec, V = 10 volt

From equation 1,

\(\Rightarrow 10=-L\times 5\)

The negative sign indicates that induced emf (e) opposes the change of flux.

⇒ L = 2 H
