NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about self and mutual induction are correct?
Self induction occurs when a change in current in a coil induces an emf in the same coil.
Mutual induction involves the interaction between two separate coils through magnetic flux.
The mutual inductance of coils is independent of their separation and orientation.
Self induction can only occur in solenoids and not in other coil configurations.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statements A and B are correct as they accurately describe self and mutual induction. Statement C is incorrect because mutual inductance does depend on the separation and orientation of the coils. Statement D is also incorrect as self induction can occur in various coil configurations, not just solenoids.
