An emf of 5 V is induced in a coil when the current changes steadily from 3 A to 2 A in 1 millisecond. What is the coil’s self-inductance?

Correct answer D. 5 mH

Explanation

Self-inductance is emf divided by rate of change of current. The current changes by 1 A in 0.001 s, so L = 5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005 H, or 5 mH.
