What si meant by Self inductance and Mutual Inductance ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Self inductance: The phenomenon in which emf is induced in a single isolated coil due to the change of flux through the coil by means of varying the current through same coil is called self-inductance. Mutual inductance: The phenomenon of production of emf induced in a coil due to a change in current in a nearby coil.
