The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

If on changing current through the coil, the emf induced in the coil ise, then by Faradays 2nd law, we have $ e=-L\frac{\Delta i}{\Delta t} $ where, $ \frac{\Delta i}{\Delta t} $ is rate of change of current. Given, $ L=5H,\text{ }\frac{\Delta i}{\Delta t}=-2A/s $ (decreasing) $ \therefore $ $ e=-5\times (-2)=+10V $

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.
