Example of LR circuit
Let at t = 0, switch S is closed.
(a) Just on closing switch means t = 0. At this time inductor offers infinite resistance, thus I = 0 and 
(b) A long time after closing switch means at t = ∞. At this time it offers no resistance (as current in inductor attains a maxima), in other words entire current will pass through inductor, hence at t = ∞, I2 = 0 and 
^Current in LR – circuit
An ideal inductor has no ohmic resistance (i.e. R = 0) it has only reactance (i.e. XL ≠ 0). However no inductor is ideal, every inductor can be assumed as series combination of L & R . When such an inductor is connected is connected to a battery (e.g. on throwing switch towards) a current increases exponentially in the outer loop from 0 to become maximum in accordance with the relation 
Due to increase in current voltage across the resistor increases in accordance with the relation 
As the total voltage across the LR combination is always fixed & equal to battery voltage, thus the increase in voltage across the resistor implies a decrease in voltage across the inductor. This is described by the function 
.
On throwing switch towards B current decreases exponentially in the outer loop from maximum to become 0 in accordance with the relation 
^Eddy currents
Opposing currents produced in the whole volume of a metallic body in the form of closed loops due to the change in magnetic flux linked with a body oppose the change in magnetic flux & can be so strong that the metallic body become red hot.
^Combination of inductors
^Coefficient of coupling (K)
It is defined as, 
(A) The value of K is 0 < K < 1 for loose coupling (i.e. When the axis of two coils are parallel to each other & on different lines )
(B) K = 1 for tight coupling ( i.e. when two coils are wound on each other).
(C) When the axis of two coils are ⊥ to each other & on different lines K = 0 & this case is called zero coupling.
^Mutual induction (M)
1. Property of a coil due to which it suppress the variations in current in it by inducing a back EMF in the neighbouring coil is called mutual induction. It is measured by a quantity called mutual inductance (M), which is defined as, 
.
2. SI unit of both self & mutual inductance is henry (H).
3. For two long coaxial solenoid wound on same core, 
4. Reciprocity theorem: M12 = M21

^Vibration magnetometer
A magnet free to vibrate about vertical axis passing through its CM is first kept in a non- magnetic hook along BH.
On deflecting it slightly by an amount θ, it experiences a restoring torque due to horizontal component of earth’s field BH
τ = M BH sinθ
≈M BH θ [As sinθ ≈ θ, for small angle deflection.
Due to inertia of the magnet it start oscillating simple harmonically. We know from the theory angular SHM that linear frequency, angular frequency & time period of oscillations is,
Thus for this situation we have
Here, I = MI of the magnet 
Uses:
For two dissimilar magnets using 
Here Ts = time period for the sum position & Td = time period for the difference position.
^Compass & dip circle
A compass needle consists of a magnetic needle is free to swing (oscillate or deflect) in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis.
A compass needle when placed in a horizontal plane & free to move aligns itself parallel to BH.
At the poles, the magnetic field lines are vertically so that the horizontal component is negligible & the compass needle can point along any direction & thus can’t be used as a direction finder. In that case we use a dip circle.
^Magnetic meridian
Magnetic meridian at a place is a vertical plane passing through the imaginary line joining the earth’s magnetic north and the south poles or the axis of a freely suspended magnet with its north pole towards geographic north.
