The correct answer is: 10 mH

The current i through the circuit is given by

i=VR= 12 V6 Ω= 2 A

The formula to calculate the induced emf in the coil can be written as

ε=Ldidt   ...1

Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) and solve to calculate the inductance of the coil.

20 V=L×2 A1×10-3 sL= 20 V×1×10-3 s2 A= 10 mH
