Current in a circuit falls from 5.0 A to 0.0 A in 0.1 s. If an average emf of 200 V induced, give an estimate of the self - inductance of the circuit.


Given: Initial current I1 = 5.0 A

Final current I2 = 0.0 A


Time = 0.1 seconds


Average e.m.f = 200 V


Change in the current can be calculated as:


dI = I1 - I2 = 5.0A – 0.0A


dI = 5 A


The self-conductance of the circuit is calculated using the formula:



or


substituting the values, we get



L = 4 Henry
