In a fluorescent lamp choke (a small transformer) 100 V of reverse voltage is produced when the choke current changes uniformly from 0.25 A to 0 in a duration of 0.025 ms. The self-inductance of the choke (in mH) is estimated to be ________.
Answer (integer)
10
Solution
V = $\left| {L{{di} \over {dt}}} \right|$
<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ L = ${V \over {\left| {{{di} \over {dt}}} \right|}}$ = ${{100} \over {{{0.25} \over {0.025 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}}}$ = 10 mH
