A coil of self-inductance 100 mH carries current changing at 10 A/s. Induced EMF:

Answer: 1 V.

  • A 1 mV
  • B 1 V
  • C 10 V
  • D 100 V

Correct answer: B. 1 V

Explanation: EMF = -L x dI/dt = 100 x 10<sup>-3</sup> x 10 = 1 V.

EMF is Induced Only While Flux is ChangingΦmagnet approachingmagnet stationary inside coilEMFEMF ≠ 0 (flux changing)EMF = 0 (flux constant)t

As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.

Concept context

Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
