The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Current in the coil is:
Ip = I0 sin ωt
Now \(\frac {dI_p}{dt}\) = I0ω cos ωt
e.m.f = M \(\frac {dI_p}{dt}\)
e.m.f = MIω  cos ωt
Maximum value of the e.m.f. induced in coil: 
e.m.fmax  = 5 x 10-3 x 10 x 100 πt x1
e.m.fmax =  5 x 10-3 x 103 x πt
e.m.fmax = 5π
e.m.fmax  = 5 x 3.14
e.m.fmax  = 15.70 V
Therefore the correct option is (C) 15.70 V.

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.
