Mutual Inductance

The planar concentric rings of metal wire having radii r1r_1 and r2r_2 (with r1>r2r_1 > r_2) are placed in air. The current II is flowing through the coil of larger radius. The mutual inductance between the coils is given by ( μ0=\mu_0 = permeability of free space)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Field of larger ring at centre: B=μ0I2r1B = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2r_1}, taken uniform over the smaller ring
  2. Flux through smaller ring: Φ=μ0I2r1πr22\Phi = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2r_1}\pi r_2^2
  3. M=ΦI=μ0πr222r1M = \dfrac{\Phi}{I} = \dfrac{\mu_0\pi r_2^2}{2r_1}
  4. So the answer is (d) μ0πr222r1\dfrac{\mu_0\pi r_2^2}{2r_1}.
