Mutual Inductance

qImage6582b40e49163c7a3e883e9a

When two coils are arranged in such a way that a change of current in one coil causes an EMF to be induced in the other, the coils are said to have mutual inductance.

The mutual inductance is denoted letter M and measured in Henry.

Induced EMF in the coil, \(e=M{di\over dt}\)

Here, M represents the mutual inductance

\(M={μ N^2 A\over l}\)

where, μ = Permeability

N = No. of turns of the coil

A = Cross-sectional area of coil

l = Length of coil

Self Inductance

qImage6582b40f49163c7a3e883e9f

Self-inductance is the property of the current-carrying coil that resists or opposes the change of current flowing through it. This occurs mainly due to the self-induced emf produced in the coil itself. 

Self-inductance, \(L={N ϕ\over I}\)

where, L = Self-inductance

N = No. of turns of the coil

ϕ = Flux

l = Current
