Question

What EMF is produced if a waffle iron that draws 2.5 amperes and has an inductance of 560 millihenries is suddenly unplugged, so the current drops to essentially zero in 0.015 seconds

Answer 1

93 V

Step-by-step explanation:

use the expression for induced emf as

EMF = L dI/dt

L = 560 x 10⁻³

dI = 2.5 A

dt = 0.015 s = 15 x 10⁻³ s

EMF = L dI/dt

= 0.560 * 2.5/0.015

= 93.33 V

≅ 93 V
