(i) Plasmodium enters the human body as sporozoites that are stored in the salivary glands of the female anopheles mosquito. When the mosquito bites a human, the sporozoites are introduced into his/her body.
(ii)
(iii) The victim shows symptoms ofhigh fever due to the release of a toxic substance, haemozoin from the ruptured RBCS that have been infected by the sporozoites.

Self induction is the property of a coil by virture of which the coil oppose any change in the strenght of current flowing through it by inducting an e.m.f. in itself. Self induction represents electric inertia which is measured in terms of coefficient of self inductance We can show that L = (phi)/(I) = (-e)/(dI//dt) Read the above passage and answer the following questions : An e.m.f. of 150 microvolt is induced in a coil when current in it changes from 5A ot 1 A in 0.2 sec. what is self inductance of the coil ? (ii) How does self indcution of a coil represent its electric inertia ? (iii) What is them implication of this property in our daily life ?
