Assertion : In the phenomenon of mutual induction, self induction of each of the coils persists.
Reason : Self induction arises when strength of current in same coil changes. In mutual induction, current is changing in both the individual coils.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer

B

Explanation

Mutual inductance is the phenomenon according to which an opposing e.m.f. produces flux in a coil as a result of change in current or magnetic flux linked with a neighbouring coil. But when two coils are inductively coupled, in addition to induced e.m.f. produced due to mutual induction, induced e.m.f. is also produced in each of the two coils due to self-induction.
