PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 2 Objective Question

Question

What is the definition of '1 Henry' in the context of inductance?
Options
A The amount of inductance required to produce an emf of 1 volt when the current changes at 1 Ampere per second.
Correct Answer
B The amount of current flowing through an inductor that produces 1 volt of emf.
C The magnetic flux produced by 1 Ampere of current in a coil with 1 turn.
D The resistance of a coil that generates 1 volt when 1 Ampere flows through it.
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 30 states: '1 Henry is defined as the amount of inductance required to produce an emf of 1 volt in a conductor when the current change in the conductor is at the rate of 1 Ampere per second.'

Hint

The unit Henry relates induced voltage to the rate of change of current.
