Self-Inductance & Energy
The current in an A.C. circuit with inductance coil varies with time according to the graph given below.

Which one of the following graphs gives the variation of voltage with time?
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Voltage across the inductor .
- Rising part: constant positive slope, so is a constant positive value.
- Falling part: constant negative slope, so is a constant negative value.
- So vs is a rectangular (square) pulse: positive then negative. None of the given graphs shows this; the key gives (b).
