Experiment
Aim: To study the factors on which the self
inductance of a coil depends by observing the effect of
this coil when put in series with a resistor in a circuit
fed by an AC source of adjustable frequency.
Apparatus Required:
I. A coil of large no. of turns,
II. AC source of adjustable Frequency,
III. An electric bulb,
IV. AC ammeter of suitable range,
V. Rheostat,
VI. A soft iron Rod,
VII. One way key,
VIII. Connecting wires

Theory:
Self Inductance:
It is a phenomenon where growth and decay of
current is opposed due to change in magnetic
flux between diff. layers of a coil, there is a self
induced emf developed which opposes the source
emf.
∂Ø α ∂I
∂t ∂t
Or, ∂Ø = L ∂I , where L is a
∂t ∂t constant of
proportionality called Coefficient of Self
Inductance.
From Laws of Electromagnetic Induction,
E = -L ∂Ø
∂t
Thus, self induction is Self Induced EMF developed due
to rate of change of current.

Thus, co-efficient of self inductance is independent of
current, but, depends on the no. of turns as well as
length of solenoid.

Result:
The current in the circuit decreases on
inserting the iron rod in the core at constant
frequency of applied voltage and brightness of
bulb decreases and vice versa.
The current in the circuit increases on
decreasing the frequency applied voltage and
vice versa. Hence, the brightness of bulb
increases.
Precautions:
a.The coil should have large no. of turns.
b. Current should be passed for a small time
to avoid the heating effect.
Sources of Error:
The resistance of circuit may increase
slightly due to heating effect of current.
There may be eddy current in soft iron
coil.
