Mutual Inductance

Two conducting circular loops of radii rr and 2r2r are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding. The mutual inductance MM between them is {same current is passing through both the coils} (μ0=\mu_0 = permeability of free space)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Using the small-inner-loop result M=μ0πr222r1M = \dfrac{\mu_0\pi r_2^2}{2r_1} with r1=2rr_1 = 2r, r2=rr_2 = r
  2. M=μ0πr22(2r)=μ0πr4M = \dfrac{\mu_0\pi r^2}{2(2r)} = \dfrac{\mu_0\pi r}{4}
  3. So the answer is (b) μ0πr4\dfrac{\mu_0\pi r}{4}.
