The unit henry is equivalent to:

Answer: volt-second per ampere.

  • A volt-second per ampere
  • B ampere per second
  • C volt per ampere
  • D weber per second

Correct answer: A. volt-second per ampere

Explanation: From ε = −L dI/dt, 1 H = 1 V·s/A.

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.
