$A$ branch of a circuit is shown in the figure. If the current is decreasing at the rate of $10^3 \ A \ s^{-1}$, then the potential difference between $A$ and $B$ is (in $V$)

$A$ circuit having a self-inductance of $1 \text{ H}$ carries a current of $1 \text{ A}$. To prevent sparking when the circuit is broken,a capacitor which can withstand $500 \text{ V}$ is connected across the switch. What is the minimum value of the capacitance of the capacitor (in $\mu \text{ F}$)?

An inductor coil wound uniformly has self-inductance $L$ and resistance $R$. The coil is broken into two identical parts. The two parts are then connected in parallel across a battery of $E$ volt of negligible internal resistance. The current through the battery at steady state is

An air-cored solenoid with length $30 \ cm$,area of cross-section $25 \ cm^2$ and number of turns $500$ carries a current of $2.5 \ A$. The current is suddenly switched off for a brief time of $10^{-3} \ s$. How much is the (nearly) average back e.m.f. induced across the ends of the open switch in the circuit (in $V$)? (Ignore the variation of magnetic field near the ends of solenoid)

$A$ current vs. time graph of the current passing through a solenoid is shown in the figure. For which time is the back electromotive force $(emf)$ a maximum? If the back $emf$ at $t = 3\;s$ is $e$, find the back $emf$ at $t = 7\;s$, $15\;s$, and $40\;s$. $OA$, $AB$, and $BC$ are straight line segments.
