Answer: 4 mH.
- A 10 mH
- B 4 mH
- C 0.1 H
- D 25 mH
Correct answer: B. 4 mH
Explanation: EMF = M(dI/dt), so M = EMF/(dI/dt) = 0.02/5 = 4 × 10⁻³ H = 4 mH.
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.
