Q: What is self-inductance?
Solution:
Self-inductance is the property of a coil to induce an EMF in itself due to a change in current.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a coil is a wire wound into a spiral shape.
Step 2: Know that when electric current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field around it.
Step 3: Realize that if the current flowing through the coil changes (either increases or decreases), the magnetic field also changes.
Step 4: Learn that this change in the magnetic field can induce an electromotive force (EMF) in the same coil.
Step 5: Recognize that this ability of the coil to induce EMF in itself due to the change in current is called self-inductance.
