Answer
(1) [figure]
Solution
Induced emf, e = -L didt
0 to T/4: i increases uniformly didt is constant and positive e is constant and negative
T/4 to T/2: i is constant e = 0
T/2 to 3T/4: i decreases uniformly didt is constant and negative e is constant and positive
3T/4 to T: i = 0 e = 0
The emf is a negative constant pulse from 0 to T/4 and a positive constant pulse from T/2 to 3T/4, as in graph (1).
