The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the physical quantity that is measured in the unit of weber per ampere (Wb/A), which is equivalent to Henry (H). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Units**: - The unit weber (Wb) is the unit of magnetic flux. - The unit ampere (A) is the unit of electric current. - Therefore, weber per ampere (Wb/A) can be interpreted as a measure of how much magnetic flux is associated with a unit of electric current. 2. **Identifying the Physical Quantity**: - The physical quantity that relates magnetic flux to electric current is **inductance**. - There are two types of inductance: - **Self Inductance**: This is the property of a coil or circuit that allows it to induce an electromotive force (emf) in itself due to a change in current. - **Mutual Inductance**: This is the property of a coil or circuit that allows it to induce an emf in another coil or circuit due to a change in current in the first coil. 3. **Units of Inductance**: - The unit of inductance is the Henry (H). - One Henry is defined as the inductance in which a change of current of one ampere per second induces an emf of one volt. - Mathematically, 1 H = 1 Wb/A. 4. **Conclusion**: - Hence, the physical quantities measured in weber per ampere (Wb/A) are **self inductance** and **mutual inductance**. Both are measured in Henry (H). ### Final Answer: The physical quantities measured in weber per ampere (Wb/A) are **self inductance** and **mutual inductance**, both of which are measured in Henry (H). ---
