View full question & answer→phenomenon of self induction:
a. The phenomenon of production of an induced e.m.f in a coil due to change in current in the same coil is called self induction. It is also called as back-e.m.f.
b.

Consider a coil connected with battery E, plug key K and inductor L carrying current of magnitude I as shown in figure.
c. Since magnetic flux linked with the coil is directly proportional to the current,
$\therefore φ ∝ I$
$\therefore φ = LI .…(i)$
where, L = constant called coefficient of self induction or self inductance of the coil, which depends upon the number of turns, shape, area of the coil and material of the core.
d. Induced e.m.f in the coil is given by,
\(e=-\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)
\(e=-L \frac{d I}{d t}\)….(ii)
−ve sign in equation (ii) shows that self induced e.m.f opposes the rate of change of current.
\(\therefore|e|=\left|-L \frac{d I}{d t}\right|\)
\(\therefore|e|=L \frac{d I}{d t}\)
∴ Magnitude of self induced e.m.f is given by, \(e=L \frac{d I}{d t}\)
This is required induced e.m.f.
phenomenon of mutual induction:
a. The phenomenon of production of induced e.m.f in one coil due to change of current in the neighbouring coil is called mutual induction. The e.m.f so induced is called mutually induced e.m.f.
b.

Consider primary coil P and secondary coil S fitted with galvanometer G and placed very close to each other as shown in figure. The coil P is connected in series with the source of e.m.f (battery) and key K.
c. When tap key K is pressed, current IP passes through the coil P. Magnetic flux φS linked with secondary coil S at any instant is directly proportional to current IP through primary coil P at that instant.
$\therefore φS ∝ IP$
$\therefore φS = M I_P ….(i)$
where M is constant called coefficient of mutual induction or mutual inductance of the coil.
d. e.m.f induced in S at any instant is given by,
\(e_S=-\frac{d \phi_s}{d t}\)
\(e_S=-\frac{d}{d t}\left(M I_P\right)\) [From equation (i)]
\(\therefore e_S=-M \frac{d I_P}{d t}\)
∴ Magnitude of induced e.m.f is given by,
\(\left|e_S\right|=\left|-\frac{M d I_P}{d t}\right|\)
\(e_s=\frac{M d I_P}{d t}\)
\(M=\frac{e_S}{\frac{d I_P}{d t}}\)
coefficient of self-induction:
The definition of self-inductance is the induction of a voltage in a wire that carries current when the current in the wire is changing.
coefficient of mutual induction:
Coefficient of mutual induction is defined as the e.m.f induced in the secondary coil per unit rate of change of current in the primary coil (neighbouring coil).
SI unit and dimention of of co-efficient of self induction:
SI Unit of co-efficient of self induction is henry (H) in SI system or volt $A−1$ s.
Dim ensions of self induction are$ [L^2M^1T^{−2}A^{−2}]$
