A 12 V battery connected to a coil of resistance 6  through a switch, drives a constant current in the circuit. The switch is opened in 1 ms. The emf induced across the coil is 20 V. The inductance of the coil is :
  1. 10 mH
  2. 8 mH
  3. 5 mH
  4. 12 mH

Solution

The current i through the circuit is given by

i=VR= 12 V6 Ω= 2 A

The formula to calculate the induced emf in the coil can be written as

ε=Ldidt   ...1

Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) and solve to calculate the inductance of the coil.

20 V=L×2 A1×10-3 sL= 20 V×1×10-3 s2 A= 10 mH
