NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The self-inductance of a coil is similar to inertia in mechanics. | Reason (R): The self-induced emf in a coil opposes any change in the current through it, similar to how inertia opposes changes in motion.

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.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The self-inductance of a coil does play the role of inertia as it opposes changes in current, similar to how inertia opposes changes in motion, thereby justifying both the assertion and reason.
