Physics Question on Electromagnetic induction

In the phenomenon of mutual induction, self induction of each of the coil persists Self induction arises when strength of current in one coil changes. In mutual induction, current is changing in both the individual coils

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Answer

If assertion is true but reason is false

Explanation

Solution

Mutual inductance is the phenomenon according to which an opposing e.m.f. produces flux in a coil as a result of change in current or magnetic flux linked with a neighbouring coil. But when two coils are inductively coupled, in addition to induced e.m.f. produced due to mutual induction, also induced e.m.f. is produced in each of the two coils due to self-induction.
