Why induced current in DC circuits can cause short circuit?
The induced current in a DC circuit does not necessarily cause a short circuit. I assume you are referring to the effects of the self induced current from an inductor when the magnetic field around the inductor collapses immediately after a DC source Voltage is disconnected from the circuit that the inductor is a part of. Unlike a capacitor or a battery an inductor can not store energy once the source for the energy in the inductor`s electromagnetic field is removed. When a closed series circuit containing a DC source voltage and an inductor is switched to an open circuit the source for the energy in the inductor`s windings is removed and the magnetic field around the inductor collapses inducing a current into an apparent open circuit. Of course current cannot flow in an open circuit and since the inductor can not store an energy source (a Voltage) it appears that a conundrum has been reached where a short circuit absolutely must occur. I believe what normally happens now is that curre
