Two conducting circular loops A and B are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding as shown in figure. The mutual inductance between them is:
(A)2bμ0πa2✓ Correct
(B)2πμ0⋅ab2
(C)2aμ0πb2
(D)2πμ0⋅ba2
Answer: (A)
Solution
Let loop B (radius b) carry current i. Since b≫a, the field at the common centre due to B is uniform over the small loop A:
B=2bμ0i.
Flux through A (area πa2): ϕ=B⋅πa2=2bμ0iπa2. Therefore
M=iϕ=2bμ0πa2.
