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.
