Electromagnetic Induction

Question:

In a current carrying coil, the current is varied. What can we say about the EMF being induced in the coil?

Options:

EMF cannot be induced

EMF can be induced and it is called mutual inductance

EMF can be induced and it is called self inductance.

EMF can be induced and it is called mutual impedance

Correct Answer:

EMF can be induced and it is called self inductance.

Explanation:

Definition. If EMF is induced in a single isolated coil due to change of flux through the coil by means of varying the current through the same coil, the phenomenon is called self-induction.
