Physics-Self & Mutual Induction
NEET Physics Self & Mutual Induction MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
Which of the following statements about self and mutual induction is correct?
A
Self-inductance is analogous to inertia in mechanics and opposes changes in current.
B
Mutual induction occurs only when two coils are not in proximity to each other.
C
The self-induced emf always increases the current in the circuit.
D
Self-inductance is independent of the geometry of the coil and the medium's permeability.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Self-inductance acts like inertia, opposing any change in current as stated in the NCERT context. The back emf opposes current changes, similar to how mass resists acceleration in mechanics.
