Expression :
Consider a long solenoid of length
Now magnetic flux through each turn of solenoid is :
Since
Hence, If a coil of wire with few turns around metal core carries a charge is passed through. The current will create a magnetic field that runs through the center of the coil pointing downward. If the current is stopped suddenly, then the magnitude of magnetic field tends to be zero.
It is known that changing magnetic fields will influence the charges in loops of wire. If magnitude of magnetic field in the coil approaches to zero, it induces a voltage in the coil which creates the magnetic field. So as per Lenz’s law, voltage induced by changing magnetic field gives rise to a current which counteract the changes.
Mathematically, voltage across the inductor, the loop of coil, is
The above expression looks similar to expression of force :
Now,
From the above description, there appears an analogy between mechanical motion and flow of electricity. Here, self-inductance
