The current in a coil changes from \(3 \mathrm{~A}\) to \(1 \mathrm{~A}\) in \(0.1 \mathrm{~s}\) in a coil of self-inductance \(8 \mathrm{mH}\). The emf induced in the coil is
  1. \(16 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. \(1.6 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. \(16 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. \(2 \mathrm{~V}\)

Solution

Change in currents in the coil \(\Delta I=(3-1) \mathrm{A}=2 \mathrm{~A}\) Time interval, \(\Delta t=0.1 \mathrm{~s}\) Self induction, \(L=8 \mathrm{mH}=8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{H}\) \(\therefore\) Induced emf in the coil, \(e=L \frac{d I}{d t}=L \frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t}=8 \times 10^{-3} \times \frac{2}{0.1}=16 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~V}\)
