Question
Define the term ‘mutual inductance’ between the two coils.
Obtain the expression for mutual inductance of a pair of long coaxial solenoids each of length $l$ and radii $r_1$ and $r_2 (r_2 >> r_1).$ Total number of turns in the two solenoids are $N_1$ and $N_2$ respectively.

Answer

Mutual inductance, between a pair of coils, equals the magnetic flux, linked with one of them, due to a unit current flowing in the other.Alternate Answer
The mutual inductance, for a pair of coils, equals the emf induced, in one of them, when the current in the

Let a current $I_2$ flow through the outer coil. The magnetic field due to this current $ = \mu_{o}\frac{\text{N}_{2}}{l}\times\text{I}_{2}$ The resulting magnetic flux linked with the inner coil $ = \phi_{12} = \text{N}_{1}.\big(\mu_{o}\frac{\text{N}_{2}}{l}\times\text{I}_{2}\big)\times\pi\text{r}_{1}^{2}$
$ = \bigg(\mu_{o}\frac{\text{N}_{1}\text{N}_{2}}{l}.\pi\text{r}^{2}_{1}\bigg)\text{I}_{2} = M_{12} I_2$
$\therefore\text{M}_{12} = \mu_{o}\frac{\text{N}_{1}\text{N}_{2}}{l}.\pi\text{r}^{2}_{1}.$
