- $\phi = \text{MI}$
Mutual inductance of two coils is equal to the magnetic flux linked with one coil when a unit current is passed in the other coil.
Alternate Answer
$\text{e} = - \text{M}\frac{\text{dl}}{\text{dt}}$
Mutual inductance is equal to the induced emf set up in one coil when the rate of change of current flowing through the other coil is unity.
SI unit: henry/(weber ampere–1)/(volt second ampere–1)

Let a current I2 flow through S2.This sets up a magnetic flux $\phi_{1}$ through each turn of the coil S1.
Total flux linked with S1
$\text{N}_{1}\phi_{1} = \text{M}_{12}\text{I}_{2}$......(i)
where M12 is the mutual inductance between the two solenoids Magnetic field due to the current I2 in S2 is $\text{S}_{2}\text{ is } \mu_{\circ}\text{n}_{2}\text{I}_{2}$
Therefore, resulting flux linked with S1.
$\text{N}_{1}\phi_{1} = [ (\text{n}_{1}\ell)\pi\text{r}^{2}](\mu_0\text{n}_{2}\text{I}_{2})$........(ii)
Comparing (i) & (ii),we get
M12 I2 $ =(\text{n}_{1}\ell)\pi\text{r}_{1}^{2}(\mu_{0}\text{n}_{2}\text{I}_{2})$
$\therefore\text{M}_{12} = \mu_{0}\text{n}_{1}\text{n}_{2}\pi\text{r}_{1}^{2}\ell$
- Let a magnetic flux be $(\phi_{1})$linked with coil C1 due to current (I2) in coil C2;
We have:
$\Phi_{1}\propto\text{I}_{2}$
$ = > \Phi_{1} = \text{MI}_{2}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{d}\Phi_{1}}{\text{dt}}= \text{M}\frac{\text{dI}_{2}}{\text{dt}}$
$= > \text{e} = - \text{M}\frac{\text{dI}_{2}}{\text{dt}}$.
