NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The self-inductance of a coil is dependent on the permeability of the medium inside it. | Reason (R): The self-induced emf in a coil opposes any change in current, similar to how mass 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 but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

While both the assertion and the reason are true, the reason does not directly explain the dependence of self-inductance on the permeability of the medium; it rather describes the opposition characteristic of self-induced emf, which is an analogy to inertia.
