Electromagnetic Induction Ques 18

18. Two coils of self inductances $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

[2006]

(a) $6 $ $mH$

(b) $4 $ $mH$

(c) $16 $ $mH$

(d) $10 $ $mH$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 18.(b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Mutual Inductance of two coils

$M=\sqrt{M_1 M_2}=\sqrt{2 m H \times 8 m H}=4 $ $ m H$

It is not possible to have mutual inductance without self inductance but if may or may not be possible self inductance without mutual in ductance.
