750. Calculate;-
(1) Self – inductance of each coil.
(2) Mutual inductance between two coils.

why do we connect the resistor in series with capacitor in charging?

At the instant of closing the switch, there is no charge on the capacitor and hence no potential difference
across it. so, the whole of the applied voltage must across a non-inductive resistor. as a result, initial value of
charging current becomes equal to V/R which is maximum possible. Thus, the current will be maixmum and
it can damage the capacitor.

why do semiconds and inltrs have negative temp. coefficient?

Actually, semiconductors and insulators have negative temperature coefficient…bcz they have energy gap
below 3 eV and above 3 eV respectively. so, as the temperature increases the electrons from the valance band
can not jump to the conduction band.
secondly, the no. of free electrons in the semicoductors and insulators is only 1, but that goes in the negative
once the temperature rises.
