Electromagnetic Induction · Inductance
An inductor of inductance 10 mH having resistance of is connected to battery of E.M.F. 1.0 V through a switch as shown in the figure below. After switch is closed, the ratio of instantaneous induced emfs across the inductor when the current passing through it is 2 mA and 4 mA is .

- (1)4/3
- (2)3/4
- (3)5/3
- (4)3/5
We corrected a printing error in the original paper
Source printed “the ratio of instantaneous voltages across the inductor” (the terminal voltage of the resistive inductor equals the 1.0 V emf at all times, ratio 1); corrected to the intended “induced emfs” (: 0.8 V and 0.6 V).
