Physics-Self & Mutual Induction

NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

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

A

Self-induction can occur in an isolated coil due to its own changing current.

B

Mutual induction occurs only when the coils are far apart from each other.

C

The induced emf in mutual induction is independent of the rate of change of current in the first coil.

D

Self-inductance depends solely on the number of turns in the coil without considering the magnetic field.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Self-induction occurs in an isolated coil due to its own changing current, as described in the context. Mutual induction, on the other hand, depends on the proximity and orientation of the coils, and the induced emf is related to the rate of change of current.
