Correct answer
B. A
Step-by-step solution
The induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) in an inductor is given by Faraday's law: e = -L dI dt where L is the self-inductance (a positive constant) and dI dt is the rate of change of current. The equation indicates a linear relationship where the e.m.f. is proportional to the rate of current change. The negative sign reflects Lenz's law: the induced e.m.f. opposes changes in current. When dI dt > 0 , the e.m.f. is negative; when dI dt The graph of e versus dI dt must be a straight line through the origin with nega
