Average e.m.f. of 2.4 V is induced in a coil when a current in it is changed from 10 A in one direction to 10 A in opposite direction in 0.4 second. The self inductance of the coil is
Options
- A50 mH
- B48 mH
- C45 mH
- D42 mH
Correct answer
B. 48 mH
Step-by-step solution
Given e = 2.4 V , I₁ = 10 A , I₂ = -10 A , and t = 0.4 s . The magnitude of the average induced e.m.f. is given by: |e| = L | I| t Substituting the given values: 2.4 = L |-10 - 10| 0.4 2.4 = L 20 0.4 2.4 = 50 L L = 2.4 50 = 0.048 H L = 48 mH Answer: 48 mH
