Electromagnetism
How does an inductor react to a steady DC current once it has fully charged?
The inductor always induces an opposing current that is proportional to the rate of current change.
The inductor's magnetic field is replaced by an electric field;
There is no change in current through the inductor;
The inductor starts oscillating current through it because of its capacitance;
Which device is commonly used to create a known amount of inductance in a circuit?
Resistor
Transistor
Inductor
Capacitor
What is stored within the magnetic field of an inductor carrying a steady current?
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
Magnetic potential energy
Chemical energy
What property of an inductor determines how effectively it can store energy through its magnetic field?
Capacitance
Inductance
Resistance
Conductivity
Is self-induction related to mutual induction?
No, self-induction involves capacitors while mutual induction involves coils;
Yes, it's a similar phenomenon occurring within a single coil;
No, self-induction generates direct current while mutual induction generates alternating current;
Yes, but self-induction calculates resistance while mutual induction calculates reactance.
Which statement correctly describes the contrast between Faraday's law of induction and Lenz's law when a magnet is moved toward a coil?
Faraday’s law quantifies the induced emf while Lenz’s law gives the direction of the induced current that opposes the change.
Both describe magnetic fields but only Lenz's law explains how it affects nearby charges.
Faraday’s law predicts no current is induced by a constant magnetic field, while Lenz’s law states that there is always an induced current.
Faraday’s law only applies to closed loops, whereas Lenz's law can be used for both open and closed circuits.
What unit measures inductance?

Henry (H)
