B Correct answer
Explanation

The mutual inductance between two small coaxial loops separated by distance d is M = (mu_0 * pi * r1^2 * r2^2) / (2 * d^3). Given r1 = r2 = r, M = (mu_0 * pi * r^4) / (2 * d^3).

D Correct answer
Explanation

We know that

$\displaystyle \phi =Mi$

$\displaystyle d\phi =Mdi$

$\displaystyle M=\frac { d\phi  }{ di } =\frac { 2\times { 10 }^{ -2 } }{ 1\times { 10 }^{ -2 } } =2$ henry
