Direction: Q.36 to Q.40

When a current I flows through a coil, flux linked with it is \[\phi =LI\], where L is a constant known as self inductance of the coil. Any change in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, self inductance of a coil is the induced emf set up in the coil when the current passing through it changes at the unit rate. It is a measure of the opposition to the growth or the decay of current flowing through the coil. Also, value of self inductance depends on the number of turns in the solenoid, its area of cross-section and the relative permeability of its core material.

Read the above passage carefully and give the answer of the following questions:

The inductance in a coil plays the same role as:

A) inertia in mechanics

B) energy in mechanics

C) momentum in mechanics

D) force in mechanics
