Electromagnetic Induction Ques 18
Two coils of self inductances $2\ \text{mH}$ and $8\ \text{mH}$ 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
[2006]
(a) $6 $ $mH$
(b) $4 $ $mH$
(c) $16 $ $mH$
(d) $10 $ $mH$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 18.(b)
Solution:
- (b) Mutual Inductance of two coils
$M=\sqrt{M_1 M_2}=\sqrt{2 mH \times 8 mH}=4 $ $ mH$
It is not possible to have mutual inductance without self inductance but it may or may not be possible to have self inductance without mutual inductance.
