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 :
- R22R1
- R1R2
- R2R1
- R12R2
Answer
(1) R22R1
Solution
Let current I flow in the larger loop (radius R1). Field at its centre:
B = 0 I2R1
R1 >> R2, this field is nearly uniform over the smaller loop.
2 = B R22 = 0 I R222R1
M = 2I = 0 R222R1
M R22R1
Answer: (1)
