  • question_answer
    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) \[\frac{R_{1}^{2}}{{{R}_{2}}}\]                                

    D) \[\frac{R_{2}^{2}}{{{R}_{1}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d) \[\frac{R_{2}^{2}}{{{R}_{1}}}\] Let a current \[{{l}_{1}}\] flows through the outer circular coil of radius \[{{R}_{1}}\]. The magnetic field at the centre of the coil is \[{{B}_{1}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{l}_{1}}}{2{{R}_{1}}}\] As the inner coil of radius \[{{R}_{2}}\] placed co-axially has small radius \[({{R}_{2}}<{{R}_{1}}),\] therefore \[{{B}_{1}}\] may be taken constant over its cross-sectional area.                                     Hence, flux associated with the inner coil is                            \[{{\phi }_{1}}={{B}_{1}}\pi R_{2}^{2}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}{{l}_{1}}}{2{{R}_{1}}}\pi R_{2}^{2}\] As         \[M=\frac{{{\phi }_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}\pi R_{2}^{2}.}{2{{R}_{1}}};\therefore \,\,M\propto \frac{R_{2}^{2}}{{{R}_{1}}}\]
