Differentiate between self induction and mutual induction?
Answers
Self induction is a physical phenomenon where electricity is inducted in a electrical circuit wire by the wire itself.It is an independent phenomenon.
On the other hand;
Mutual induction is a physical phenomenon where electricity bis inducted in a electrical circuit wire by an adjacent electrical circuit's mutual work.It is a dependent phenomenon.
MUTUAL INDUCTION- consider two coils of wire kept side by side. When the strength or direction of the current in one coil changes the magnetic flux around it changes. As a result an emf is induced in the secondary coil . This phenomenon is the mutual induction.
SELF INDUCTION- The change in the magnetic flux due to the flow of an AC in a solenoid will generate a back emf in a direction opposite to that applied to it. This phenomenon is known as self induction ..
