Question
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.

Solution
Initial current, I1 = 5.0 A
Final current, I2 = 0.0 A
Change in current, dI = I1 − I2 = 5 A
Time taken for the change, t = 0.1 s
Average emf, e = 200 V
For self-inductance (L) of the coil, we have the relation for average emf as:
e = `"L""dl"/"dt"`
`"L" = "e"/((("dl")/("dt")))`
= `200/(5/0.1)`
= 4 H
Hence, the self-induction of the coil is 4 H.
