There are 3 lessons in this physics tutorial covering Inductance and Self-Induction. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Inductance and Self-Induction and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of Inductance and Self-Induction. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.

In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:

  • What is inductance?
  • What is an inductor?
  • What is the self-induced emf?
  • How do we measure the self-inductance?
  • What are the factors affecting the self-inductance?
  • What are some applications of inductance in technology?

Introduction

What methods do you know that can be used induce emf in a coil?

Do you think the number of turs in the coil has any effect in the induced emf?

Think about changing the value of resistor connected to the coil. What happens to the emf induced in the coil?

In this tutorial, we will discuss about a phenomenon called "self-induction". We encounter it in many electronic devices and it is used to protect them from damage caused by sudden current changes.
