Physics-Self & Mutual Induction

NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

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

A

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

B

Mutual inductance depends solely on the current flowing through the first coil.

C

Self-inductance is defined as the ability of a coil to induce emf in a neighboring coil.

D

Mutual induction can happen even if the two coils are not aligned properly.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Self-induction is described as the phenomenon where a varying current in a coil induces an emf in itself, while mutual induction involves one coil inducing emf in another. This aligns with the definitions and principles outlined in the NCERT context.
