In SI, Henry is the unit of:

A

Self inductance

B

Mutual inductance

C

(1) and (2) both

D

None of the above

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Definition: The Henry (symbol: H) is the SI derived unit of inductance.
  2. Application: It is used as the unit for both Self-inductance (LL) and Mutual inductance (MM).
  3. Source Verification: According to the NCERT Physics text, the constant of proportionality LL (self-inductance) has the SI unit of henry . Similarly, the coefficient MM (mutual inductance) corresponds to the same physical dimension (flux linkage per ampere) and is also measured in henry .
  4. Dimensional Analysis: Both quantities define the relationship between induced emf and the rate of change of current (ε=LdIdt\varepsilon = -L \frac{dI}{dt} or ε=MdIdt\varepsilon = -M \frac{dI}{dt}), resulting in the same unit .
