Question:

Average e.m.f. of 2.4 V is induced in a coil when a current in it is changed from 10 A in one direction to 10 A in opposite direction in 0.4 second. The self inductance of the coil is

Show Hint

The change in current is from +10 A to -10 A, so it is 20 A in total.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Average induced emf is \(e=L\dfrac{|\Delta I|}{\Delta t}\).

Step 2: Change in current
The current goes from \(+10\text{ A}\) to \(-10\text{ A}\), so \(|\Delta I|=20\text{ A}\).

Step 3: Calculation
\(2.4=L\times\dfrac{20}{0.4}=50L\)

Step 4: Result
\(L=0.048\text{ H}=48\text{ mH}\)

Final Answer:
The self inductance is \(48\text{ mH}\). \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }48\text{ mH}} \]
