Two conducting circular loops of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding. If $R_1>R_2$, the mutual inductance $M$ between them will be directly proportional to
- A
$\frac{R_1}{R_2}$
- B
$\frac{R_2}{R_1}$
- C
$\frac{R_1^2}{R_2}$
- ✓
$\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}$
(d) : Let a current $I_1$ flows through the outer circular coil of radius $R_1$.
The magnetic field at the centre of the coil is $B_1=\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 R_1}$
As the inner coil of radius $R_2$ placed co-axially has smaller radius $\left(R_2<R_1\right)$, therefore $B_1$ may be taken to be constant over its cross-sectional area.
Hence, flux associated with the inner coil is
$\phi_2=B_1 \pi R_2^2=\frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 R_1} \pi R_2^2$
As $M=\frac{\phi_2}{I_1}=\frac{\mu_0 \pi R_2^2}{2 R_1} \quad \therefore M \propto \frac{R_2^2}{R_1}$

where $M$ is the mutual inductance and $\frac{d I}{d t}$ is the rate of change of current in the first coil.
Given, $I=5 \sin 200 \pi t$

From equation (i),
$e=0.01 \times 1000 \pi \sin (200 \pi t-\pi / 2)=10 \pi \sin \left(200 \pi t-\frac{\pi}{z}\right)$
