An inductor consists of 100 turns of wire tightly wound about an insulating core. It is attached to a power supply and when the current through it is increased from 0 to 5 A in 3, s an induced emf of 5 V is measured. Find the inductance of this device and the magnetic flux and the energy stored in the magnetic field when the current is held steady at 5 A.

Electromagnets

The word "electromagnet" is composed of two words, ‘electro’ and ‘magnet’. It is a type of magnet in which an electric current helps in the generation of a magnetic field. Electromagnets usually consist of two major parts, wire and a coil around which the wire is wound. This is called a solenoid. When an electric current is allowed to pass through the coiled wire, the electric current produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is present only when current is passing through the wire.
