Physics-Self & Mutual Induction
NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): Self-inductance is the electromagnetic analogue of mass in mechanics. | Reason (R): Self-inductance depends on the geometry of the coil and the permeability of the medium.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
Self-inductance is compared to inertia as it opposes changes in current, similar to how mass opposes changes in motion. However, its dependence on geometry and permeability is not the reason for this analogy.
