A plot of magnetic flux versus current is shown in the figure for two inductors A and B. Which of the two has the larger value of self-inductance?

Answer: Inductor A has the larger self-inductance.

Solution

For an inductor the flux linkage is , so the slope of a – graph equals the self-inductance .
Line A is steeper than line B, i.e. it has the greater slope.
Hence .
