Two coils of self inductance 2 mH and 8 mH are placed so close together that the effective flux in one coil is completely linked with the other. The mutual inductance between these coils is
- 16 mH
- 10 mH
- 6 mH
- 4 mH
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (D) : 4 mH
By using \(M = K \sqrt{ L _{1} L _{2}}\)
Here \(K =1, \,L _{1}=2 mH,L_2=8mH\)
⇒ \(M =\sqrt{16}\)
\(=4 \,mH\)

Inductance
Inductance is a key parameter in electrical and electronic circuit designs. Like resistance and capacitance, it is a basic electrical measurement that affects all circuits to some degree.
Inductance is used in many areas of electrical and electronic systems and circuits. The electronic components can be in a variety of forms and may be called by a variety of names: coils, inductors, chokes, transformers, . . . Each of these may also have a variety of different variants: with and without cores and the core materials may be of different types.
There are two ways in which inductance is used:
- Self-inductance: Self-inductance is the property of a circuit, often a coil, whereby a change in current causes a change in voltage in that circuit due to the magnetic effect of caused by the current flow. It can be seen that self-inductance applies to a single circuit - in other words it is an inductance, typically within a single coil. This effect is used in single coils or chokes.
- Mutual-inductance: Mutual inductance is an inductive effect where a change in current in one circuit causes a change in voltage across a second circuit as a result of a magnetic field that links both circuits. This effect is used in transformers.
