Mutual Inductance

Two conducting circular loops of radii R1 and R2 are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding. If R1 >> R2, the mutual inductance M between them will be directly proportional to:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Field of loop R1R_1 at centre: B=μ0I2R1B = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2R_1}, uniform over loop R2R_2 since R1≫R2R_1 \gg R_2
  2. Φ=BπR22⇒M=μ0πR222R1\Phi = B\pi R_2^2 \Rightarrow M = \dfrac{\mu_0\pi R_2^2}{2R_1}
  3. So M∝R22R1M \propto \dfrac{R_2^2}{R_1}; the answer is (a).
