NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about self-induction and mutual induction is correct?
Self-induction occurs when a changing current in one coil induces emf in the same coil.
Mutual induction is independent of the orientation and separation of the coils.
The self-induced emf is always greater than the mutual induced emf.
Self-inductance does not depend on the geometry of the coil or the permeability of the medium.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Self-induction involves the induction of emf in a coil due to a change in current through the same coil, as mentioned in the NCERT context. In contrast, mutual induction involves one coil inducing emf in another coil due to a change in current.
