A small square loop of wire of side l is placed inside a large square loop of wire of side L (L=l2 ). The loops are coplanar and their centers coincide. The value of the mutual inductance of the system is x 10-7 H, where x= .
Answer
128
Solution

Current i in the large loop; one side is at distance L2 from the centre:
B1= 0i4 ( L2 ) ( 45 + 45 )= 2 0i2 L
Four sides: B=4B1= 2 2 0i L (uniform over the small loop)
M= i= Bl2i= 2 2 0l2 L
L=l2: M= 2 2 4 10-7
=8 2 10-7= 128 10-7 H
Answer: 128
