Two conducting circular loops of radii
and
are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding. If
, the mutual inductance
between them will be directly proportional to
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Let a current
flows through the outer circular coil of radius
.
The magnetic field at the centre of the coil is 
As the inner coil of radius
placed co-axially has smaller radius (
), therefore
may be taken to be constant over its cross-sectional area.
Hence, flux associated with the inner coil is
