Physics-Self & Mutual Induction

NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about self-induction and mutual induction is correct?

A

Self-induction occurs when a changing current in one coil induces emf in the same coil.

B

Mutual induction is independent of the orientation and separation of the coils.

C

The self-induced emf is always greater than the mutual induced emf.

D

Self-inductance does not depend on the geometry of the coil or the permeability of the medium.

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
