Physics-Self & Mutual Induction

NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a solenoid with N turns and a coil placed nearby. The coil experiences a change in magnetic flux when the current through the solenoid changes. Which of the following diagrams best represents the self-induction effect in the solenoid?

Question diagram
A

A solenoid with a magnetic field inside it, with arrows indicating the magnetic field lines.

B

A solenoid and a nearby coil with changing current, and arrows indicating mutual flux lines between them.

C

A single coil with arrows showing induced emf due to its own changing current.

D

A coil and a magnet, with arrows indicating the motion of the magnet causing flux change.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Self-induction occurs in a single coil due to the change in its own magnetic flux as the current through the coil varies (Chunk 3).
