"4 Henry"

Explanation:

The magnetic flux (phi) passing through "N" turns of the coil is proportional to the current (i) in the coil.

"N"phi ∝ i

"N"phi = "L"i

The proportionality constant L is called self inductance

Differentiate both the sides

"N"(d(phi))/dt = "L"(d(i))/dt color(white)(..)[∵ "L & N are constant"]

"L" = ("N"(d(phi))/dt)/((d(i))/dt) = (500 × (2 × 10^-2\ "Weber")/("2 s"))/("2.5 A"/"2 s") = "4 H"
