Question

Distinguish between self and mutual induction of an electric circuit

Answer 1

Self induction

The phenomenon of induction of emf in a coil due to charge in magnetic flux when electric current passes through is called self induction. And it is denoted by L

Mutual induction

The phenomenon of induction of emf in a secondary coil due to flow of current in primary coil is called mutual induction . And it is denoted by M.
