A coil with a high self-inductance is connected to a battery. Why does the current take time to reach its maximum value?

**Circular loop deformed into straight wire** in field B=0.12 T radius 16 cm area πr²=0.0804 m² flux 0.00965 Wb drops to zero in 0.6 s e=0.0161 V, illustrating flux change due to area change induces emf, even without B change, area deformation changes Φ = B A cosθ. High self-inductance induces a back emf that opposes the increase in current, slowing the rate at which the current builds up to its steady-state value. Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀ N²A/l, M = e/(dI/dt) and
