A small square loop of wire of side l is placed inside a large square loop of wire LLl. Both loops are coplanar and their centres coincide at point O as shown in figure. The mutual inductance of the system is

  1. 22μ0L2πl
  2. μ0l222πL
  3. μ0L222πl
  4. 22μ0l2πL

Solution

Let a current, I pass through the square loop of side, L. The magnetic field at the centre O,

B=4×Magnetic field due to each side

B=4×μ04πIL/2sin 45+sin 45

B=2μ0IπL12+12=22μ0IπL

Magnetic flux linked with the small square loop,

ϕ=BA=Bl2=22μ0Il2πL

Mutual inductance of the coil, 

M=ϕI=22μ0l2πL.
