Two coils are placed close to each other. The mutual inductance of the pair of coils depend upon :

mutual inductance electromagnetic induction electromagnetic induction and alternating currents physics

  1. the currents in the two coils

  2. the rates at which currents are changing in the two coils

  3. relative position and orientation of the two coils

  4. the materials of the wires of the coil

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mutual inductance between two coils is defined as the property of the coil due to which it opposes the change of current in the other coil. When the current in the neighboring coil changes, the flux sets up in the coil and because of this, changing flux emf is induced in the coil called Mutually Induced emf. 

So, it depends on the relative position and orientation of two coils. 

Which of the following units denotes the dimension $\dfrac {ML^2}{Q^2}$ where Q denotes the electric charge?

mutual inductance electromagnetic induction electromagnetic induction and alternating currents physics

  1. the ability of a current carrying conductor to induce a voltage in another conductor through a mutual magnetic field.

  2. the ability of current carrying conductor to produce a changing magnetic field.

  3. the ability of a conductor to induce a magnetic field in another current carrying conductor.

  4. the ability of a current carrying conductor to induce a current in another conductor through a mutual magnetic field.

  5. the ability of a magnetic field to induce a voltage in a current carrying conductor.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As per the Faraday's experiments, a current in a conductor produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field gets linked with another conductor and result in an induced emf.

For a current carrying inductor, emf associated in $20mV$. Now, current through it changes from $6A$ to $2A$ in $2s$. The coefficient of mutual inductance is

  1. $20mH$

  2. $10mH$

  3. $1mH$

  4. $2mH$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\displaystyle \left | e \right |=L\frac{dI}{dt}$
Here, $\displaystyle e=20mV=20\times 10^{-3}V$
Coefficient of mutual inductance,
$ 20\times 10^{-3}=L\times 2$
$\displaystyle \therefore L=10\times 10^{-3}=10mH$
