Physically, the self-inductance plays the role of
  1. inertia
  2. kinetic energy
  3. potential energy
  4. velocity

Solution

Physically, the self inductance plays the role of inertia. It is the electromagnetic analogue of mass in mechanics. So work needs to be done against the back emf in establishing the current.
