Q37. Self Induction.
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 charge in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, 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, value of self inductance
depends on the number of turns in the solenoid, its area of cross-section and the permeability of its core
material.

Q38. The Experiments of Faraday and Henry

In year 1820 Oersted discovered the magnetic effect of current. Faraday gave the thought that reverse of this
phenomenon is also possible ir., current can also be produced by magnetic field. Faraday showed that when
we move a magnet towards the coil which is connected by a sensitive galvanometer. The galvanometer gives
instantaneous deflection showing that there is an electric current in the loop. Whenever relative motion
between coil and magnet takes place an emf induced in coil. If coil is in closed circuit then current is also
induced in the circuit. This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction.

withdrawn rapidly. The maximum deflection of the galvanometer was observed when the magnet was
(a) moving towards the solenoid (b) moving into the solenoid
(c) at rest inside the solenoid (d) moving out of the solenoid.
