Which phenomenological law states that the magnetic flux linked with a circuit is directly proportional to the current flowing through it?

A. Faraday's Law
B. Lenz's Law
C. Neumann's Law
D. Self-Inductance / Flux Linkage Law✓ Correct Answer

💡 Solution & Explanation

The law of self-inductance states that the magnetic flux linked with a circuit or coil is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, mathematically expressed through the inductance coefficient. Faraday and Lenz formulated laws concerning electromagnetic induction and induced electromotive force rather than the direct proportionality between flux and current. This principle is foundational for analyzing inductors in alternating current circuits.
