AIM
To study the factor on which the Self Inductance
of a coil depends by observing the effect of this
coil, when put in series with a resistor (bulb) in a
circuit fed up by an A.C. source of adjustable
frequency.

law that specifies the direction of induced current but
says nothing about its magnitude. Lenz's Law explains
the direction of many effects in electromagnetism, such
as the direction of voltage induced in an inductor or wire
loop by a changing current, or why eddy currents exert
a drag force on moving objects in a magnetic field.
Inductors do this by generating a self-induced emf
within itself as a result of their changing magnetic field.
In an electrical circuit, when the emf is induced in the
same circuit in which the current is changing this effect
is called Self-induction, ( L ) but it is sometimes
commonly called back-emf as its polarity is in the
opposite direction to the applied voltage.
The basic unit of measurement for inductance is called
the Henry, (H) after Joseph Henry, but it also has the
units of Webers per Ampere ( 1 H = 1 Wb/A ).
“A coil will have an inductance value of one Henry when
an emf of one volt is induced in the coil were the current
flowing through the said coil changes at a rate of one
ampere/second”.
In other words, a coil has an inductance, ( L ) of one
Henry, ( 1H ) when the current flowing through it
changes at a rate of one ampere/second, ( A/s ) inducing
a voltage of one volt, ( VL ) in it.

This mathematical representation of the rate of change
in current through a coil per unit time is given as:
di/dt (A/s)

Inductors are devices that can store their energy in the
form of a magnetic field. Inductors are made from
individual loops of wire combined to produce a coil and
if the number of loops within the coil are increased, then
for the same amount of current flowing through the coil,
the magnetic flux will also increase.

Self inductance is the property of a coil which opposes
the change in current through it. The self inductance of
a coil (long solenoid) is
L =( μ0 µr N2 A)/l
where µr = Relative magnetic permeability of magnetic
material, µr =μ/ μ0
N =Total number of turns in solenoid
A = Area of cross-section of solenoid
l = Length of solenoid
Hence, the self inductance depends upon
No. of turns in solenoid
Geometry of coil, L ∝ A , L ∝1/l
Nature of core material, L ∝µ
When an inductor is connected in series with a resistor
(bulb) with a variable source of frequency , then current
flowing in the bulb is
11
Irms = Erms/Z
where Z =√(R2 )+ ω2 L2 = Impedance of the a.c. circuit
Here R = Resistance of bulb
L = Self inductance of coil
ω = 2πf = Angular frequency of a.c. source.
The brightness of bulb i.e., Heat generated in bulb is
H = I2rms Zt
P = H/t = I2rms Z
P = I2rms √R2 + ω2 L2
