Question No. 61 to 64 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the [4]
questions:
When a current I flows through a coil, flux linked with it is ϕ = LI, where L is a constant known as self-
inductance of the coil. Any change in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, the self-
inductance of a coil is the induced emf set up in it when the current passing through it changes at the
unit rate. It is a measure of the opposition to the growth or the decay of current flowing through the
coil. Also, the value of self-inductance depends on the number of turns in the solenoid, its area of
cross-section, and the relative permeability of its core material.
