The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Magnetic field produced by a current $i$ in a large square loop at its centre $B \propto \frac{i}{L}$ say $B = K \frac{i}{L}$ $\therefore$ Magnetic flux linked with smaller looop, $\phi = B.S$ $\phi = \left( K \frac{i}{L} \right) ( l^2)$ Therefore, the mutual inductance $M = \frac{\phi}{i} = K \frac{l^2}{L}$ or $M \propto \frac{l^2}{L}$

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-

  1. When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
  2. When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.

Formula:

The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-

e=N × d∅.dt

Where

  • e = induced voltage
  • N = number of turns in the coil
  • Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
  • t = time

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

  1. Electromagnetic induction in AC generator
  2. Electrical Transformers
  3. Magnetic Flow Meter
