Question

What exactly is self inductance as opposed to mutual inductance?

Answer 1

Self inductance is that phenomenon in which charge in electric current in a coil produces an induced efm in the coil itself

Answer 2

Answer:

In self inductance, the change in the strength of current in the coil is opposed by the coil itself by inducing an e.m.f. In mutual inductance out of the two coils one coil opposes change in the strength of the current flowing in the other coil.
