Electromagnetism
What happens to the energy stored in an inductor when the current through it is halved?
It decreases to one-half of its original value.
It remains unchanged.
It doubles.
It decreases to one-fourth of its original value.
What would be the energy stored in an inductor with a self-inductance of 3 mH when it carries a steady current of 10 mA?
1.5 * 10^-7 J
3 * 10^-8 J
6 * 10^-7 J
9 * 10^-7 J
What is the unit of inductance?
Coulomb (C)
Henry (H)
Farad (F)
Ohm (Ω)
What property does a ferromagnetic core add when placed inside an inducer?
Converts it into a capacitor
Increases its induction
Counteracts its induction
Does not affect its induction
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;
If the current through an inductor is increasing, what type of electromotive force (EMF) does it induce?
Constant EMF unrelated to current change
Opposing EMF to reduce current increase
No EMF since only changing magnetic fields induce EMFs
Enhancing EMF to further increase current
What component in a circuit primarily stores energy in its magnetic field?
Resistor
Inductor
Capacitor

What happens to the magnetic field inside a solenoid if the current through its coils is increased?
The magnetic field remains unchanged.
The magnetic field becomes weaker.
The magnetic field becomes stronger.
The magnetic field reverses direction.
How can increasing the number of turns (n) cause changes in mutual inductance between two coils while keeping the rest of the variables fixed?
Decrease mutual inductance.
Has no effect on mutual inductance.
Increases mutual inductance.
Causes mutual inductance to become negative.
