STANDARD Physics Self Inductance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

By a change of current from 5 A to 10 A in 0.1s, the self induced emf is 10 V. The change in the energy of the magnetic field of a coil will be

A

5 J

B

6 J

C

7.5 J

D

9 J

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The magnetic field energies for currents I₁ and I₂ are U₁ = 1/2 L I₁² and U₂ = 1/2 L I₂². Change in energy, ΔU = U₂ - U₁ = 1/2 L (I₂² - I₁²) = 0.2 (10² - 5²) = 7.5 J.
