Question

Starting with emf2=−MΔI1Δt, show that the units of inductance are (V⋅s)/A=Ω⋅s.

a) (V⋅s)/A
b) Ω⋅s
c) A/(V⋅s)
d) V/A⋅s

Answer 1

The units of inductance are expressed as (V⋅s)/A or Ω⋅s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The units of inductance are expressed as (V⋅s)/A or Ω⋅s, which means the inductance is measured in volt-seconds per ampere or ohm-seconds. This can be derived by using Faraday's law of induction, which states that the induced emf (emf2) in an inductor is equal to the negative product of the mutual inductance (M), the change in current (ΔI1), and the change in time (Δt). So, starting with emf2 = -MΔI1Δt, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the units of inductance.
