Current in a circuit falls from 5.0 A to 0.0 A in 0.1 s. If an average emf of 200 V induced, give an estimate of the self-inductance of the circuit.
Solution and Explanation
Initial current, \(I_1\) = 5.0
A Final current, \(I_2\) = 0.0
A Change in current, \(dI\)= \(I_1-I_2\) = 5A
Time taken for the change, t = 0.1 s
Average emf, e = 200 V
For self-inductance (L) of the coil, we have the relation for average emf as:
e = \(L^{\frac{di}{dt}}\)
L = \(\frac{e}{\bigg(\frac{di}{dt}\bigg)}\)
= \(\frac{200}{\frac{5}{0.1}}\) = 4H
Hence, the self induction of the coil is 4 H.

Concepts Used:
Inductance
Inductance is a key parameter in electrical and electronic circuit designs. Like resistance and capacitance, it is a basic electrical measurement that affects all circuits to some degree.
Inductance is used in many areas of electrical and electronic systems and circuits. The electronic components can be in a variety of forms and may be called by a variety of names: coils, inductors, chokes, transformers, . . . Each of these may also have a variety of different variants: with and without cores and the core materials may be of different types.
There are two ways in which inductance is used:
- Self-inductance: Self-inductance is the property of a circuit, often a coil, whereby a change in current causes a change in voltage in that circuit due to the magnetic effect of caused by the current flow. It can be seen that self-inductance applies to a single circuit - in other words it is an inductance, typically within a single coil. This effect is used in single coils or chokes.
- Mutual-inductance: Mutual inductance is an inductive effect where a change in current in one circuit causes a change in voltage across a second circuit as a result of a magnetic field that links both circuits. This effect is used in transformers.
