Why self induction is called inertia of electricity?

Open in App

Solution

Self-induction of the coil is the property by virtue of which it tends to maintain the magnetic flux linked with it and opposes any change in the flux by inducing a current in it. This property of a coil is analogous to mechanical inertia. That is why self-induction is called the inertia of electricity.
