JEE PYQ: Electromagnetic Induction Question 13
Question 13 - 2020 (09 Jan Shift 1)
In a fluorescent lamp choke (a small transformer) 100 V of reverse voltage is produced when the choke current changes uniformly from 0.25 A to 0 in a duration of 0.025 ms. The self-inductance of the choke (in mH) is estimated to be ____.
Show Answer
Answer: 10
Solution
$E_{\text{ind}} = L\frac{\Delta i}{\Delta t}$. $100 = \frac{L(0.25 - 0)}{0.025 \times 10^{-3}}$. $L = \frac{100 \times 0.025 \times 10^{-3}}{0.25} = 10^{-2}$ H $= 10$ mH.
