Two concentric circular coils with radii 1 cm1 \mathrm{~cm} and 1000 cm1000 \mathrm{~cm} , and number of turns 10 and 200 respectively are placed coaxially with centers coinciding. The mutual inductance of this arrangement will be ___________ ×10−8H\times 10^{-8} \mathrm{H} . (Take, π2=10\pi^{2}=10 )

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The magnetic field B2B_2 due to the current I2I_2 in the larger coil with 200 turns is given by:

B2=N2μ0I22r2=200μ0I22×10B_2 = \frac{N_2 \mu_0 I_2}{2r_2} = \frac{200 \mu_0 I_2}{2 \times 10}

The magnetic flux ϕ1,2\phi_{1,2} through the smaller coil due to this magnetic field is given by:

ϕ1,2=N1B⃗2⋅A⃗1=N1N2μ0I22r2⋅πr12\phi_{1,2} = N_1 \vec{B}_2 \cdot \vec{A}_1 = N_1 N_2 \frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 r_2} \cdot \pi r_1^2

Since ϕ1,2=MI2\phi_{1,2} = MI_2 , we can solve for the mutual inductance MM :

M=N1N2μ0I22r2⋅πr12I2M = \frac{N_1 N_2 \frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 r_2} \cdot \pi r_1^2}{I_2}

Substituting the given values for r1r_1 , N1N_1 , r2r_2 , and N2N_2 :

M=10×200×4π×10−7×π×(0.01)22×10M = \frac{10 \times 200 \times 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times \pi \times (0.01)^2}{2 \times 10}

Simplifying the expression, we get:

M=4×10−8HM = 4 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{H}

So, the mutual inductance between the two concentric coils is 4×10−8H4 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{H} .
