Two coaxial coils A and B of radii 'R ' and 'Rz' are placed in the same plane. (R $_{2}>$ $\mathrm{R}_{1}$ ). If a current is passed through coil $\mathrm{B}$, the coefficient of mutual inductance between the coils is proportional to

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1} \mathrm{R}_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mathrm{R}_{2}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}$
  • C
    $R_{1} R_{2}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\frac{\mathrm{R}_{1}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}$

Solution

Magnetic field at the centre of primary coil $$ B=\mu_{0} i_{1} / 2 R_{1} . $$ Considering it to be uniform, magnetic flux passing through secondary coil is $$ \phi_{2}=B A=\frac{\mu_{0} i_{1}}{2 R_{1}}\left(\pi R_{2}^{2}\right) $$ Now, $M=\frac{\phi_{2}}{i_{1}}=\frac{\mu_{0} \pi R_{2}^{2}}{2 R_{1}}$ $$ \therefore \quad M \propto \frac{R_{2}^{2}}{R_{1}} . $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
