Mutual Inductance

Two concentric circular coils having radii r1r_1 and r2 (r2≪r1)r_2 \ (r_2 \ll r_1) are placed co-axially with centres coinciding. The mutual induction of the arrangement is (Both coils have single turn, μ0=\mu_0 = permeability of free space)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Field of outer coil at centre: B=μ0I2r1B = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2r_1}, uniform over inner coil since r2≪r1r_2 \ll r_1
  2. Flux through inner coil: 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 (a) μ0πr222r1\dfrac{\mu_0\pi r_2^2}{2r_1}.
