Question

What is the difference between self induction and electromagnetic induction ?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

When there is a change in the current or magnetic flux of the coil, an opposed induced electromotive force is produced. This phenomenon is termed as Self Induction.

When a conductor moves through a magnetic field a voltage is produced across the conductor this is called Electromagnetic induction. OR When a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field causes the production of a voltage across the conductor is called Electromagnetic induction.
