6. Self induction
Self induction is induction of emf in a coil due to its own current change. Total flux N passing through a coil due to its own current is proportional to the current and is given as N
= L i where L is called coefficient of self induction or inductance. The inductance L is purely a geometrical property i.e., we can tell the inductance value even if a coil is not connected in a circuit. Inductance depends on the shape and size of the loop and the number of turns it has.
If current in the coil changes by ΔI in a time interval Δt, the average emf induced in the coil is given as
ε = =
The instantaneous emf is given as
ε = - = -
S.I unit of inductance is wb/amp or Henry (H)
L - self inductance is +ve Quantity.
L depends on : (1) Geometry of loop
(2) Medium in which it is kept. L does not depend upon current. L is a scalar Quantity.
Brain Teaser
If a circuit has large self-inductance, what inference can you draw about the circuit.
6.1 Self Inductance of solenoid
Let the volume of the solenoid be V, the number of turns per unit length be n. Let a current I be flowing in the solenoid. Magnetic field in the solenoid is given as B = μ0 nl. The magnetic flux through one turn of solenoid f = μ0 n l A.
The total magnetic flux through the solenoid = N
= N μ0 n l A
= μ0 n2 l A l
Therefore, L = μ0 n2 l A = μ0 n2 V
= μ0 n i pr2 (n l)
L = = μ0 n2 πr2 l
Inductance per unit volume = μ0 n2
Ex.38 The current in a coil of self-inductance L = 2H is increasing according to the law i = 2 sin t2. Find the amount of energy spent during the period when the current changes from 0 to 2 ampere.
Sol. Let the current be 2 amp at t = τ
Then 2 = 2 sin τ2 ⇒ τ =
When the instantaneous current is i, the self induced emf is L . If the amount of charge that is displaced in time dt is dθ, then the elementary work done

W = =
W = =
Let θ = 2t2
Differentiating dθ = 4t dt
Therefore, W =
= L (- cosθ) = - L cos 2t2
W =
= 2 L = 2 × 2 = 4 joule
7. Inductor
It is represent by
electrical equivalence of loop
⇒
If current i through the inductor is increasing the induced emf will oppose the increase in current and hence will be opposite to the current. If current i through the inductor is decreasing the induced emf will oppose the decrease in current and hence will be in the direction of the current.
Over all result
VA - L = VB
Note
If there is a resistance in the inductor (resistance of the coil of inductor) then :
Ex.39 A B is a part of circuit. Find the potential difference vA - vB if
(i) current i = 2A and is constant
(ii) current i = 2A and is increasing at the rate of 1 amp/sec.
(iii) current i = 2A and is decreasing at the rate 1 amp/sec.
Sol.
=
writing KVL from A to B
VA - 1 - 5 - 2 i = VB
(i) Put i = 2, = 0
VA - 5 - 4 = VB Therefore, VA - VB = 9 volt
(ii) Put i = 2, = 1 ;
VA - 1 - 5 - 4 = VB or VA - VB = 10 V0
(iii) Put i = 2, = - 1
VA + 1 - 5 - 2 × 2 = VB
VA = 8 volt
Ex.40 Find current i, i1 and i2 in the following circuit.
Sol. at t = 0
i = i2 = and i1 = 0
at t = ∞
⇒ i1 = i2 = =
7.1 Energy stored in an inductor :
If current in an inductor at an instant is i and is increasing at the rate di/dt, the induced emf will oppose the current. Its behaviour is shown in the figure.
Power consumed by the inductor = i L
Energy consumed in dt time = i L dt
Therefore, total energy consumed as the current increases from 0 to I =
= ⇒ U =
Note :
This energy is stored in the magnetic field with energy density
Total energy U =
