Question
CBSEENPH12037868

A large circular coil, of radius R, and a small circular coil, of radius r are put in vicinity of each other. If the coefficient of mutual induction, for this pair, equals 1 mH, what would be the flux linked with the large coil when a current of 0.5A flows through the small coil?
When the current in the smaller coil falls to zero, what would be its effect in the larger coil? 

Solution

Given,
A large circular coil of radius R and a small circular coil of radius r.
Coefficient of mutual inducatnce,M = 1 mH = 1 × 10-3H 
Current flowing through the small coil, I = 0.5 A 

 Flux linked with the larger coil, ϕ = MI  
                     ϕ = 10-30.5 = 10×10-35 = 2 × 10-3 wb/Am 

If the current through the small coil falls to zero then the induced current in the larger coil becomes zero.
