The current $\mathrm{i}$ in a coil varies with time as shown in the figure. The variation of induced emfwith time would be


- A

- B

- C

- Correct answerD

Solution
We know, inducedemf
$$
\mathrm{e}=-\mathrm{L} \frac{\mathrm{di}}{\mathrm{dt}}
$$
During 0 to $\frac{\mathrm{T}}{4}, \frac{\mathrm{di}}{\mathrm{dt}}=$ constant
$\mathrm{So}, \mathrm{e}=-\mathrm{ve}$
For $\frac{T}{4}$ to $\frac{T}{2}, \frac{d i}{d t}=0$ i.e., $\mathrm{e}=0$
For $\frac{T}{4}$ to $\frac{3 \mathrm{~T}}{4}, \frac{\mathrm{di}}{\mathrm{dt}}=$ constant i.e., $\mathrm{e}=+\mathrm{ve}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
