A magnetic flux of 10 μWb is linked with a coil when a current of 2 mA flows through it. What is the self-inductance of the coil?

Answer: (2) 5 mH

Step-by-step solution

Given: Φ = 10 μWb = 10×10⁻⁶ Wb, I = 2 mA = 2×10⁻³ A.

Idea: the flux linked with a coil is proportional to its own current, Φ = LI, so L = Φ/I.

L = (10×10⁻⁶)/(2×10⁻³) = 5×10⁻³ H.

L = 5 mH.
