Two coils A and B are placed in a circuit. When current in the coil A changes by \(0.8 \mathrm{~A}\) the magnetic flux in coil \(\mathrm{B}\) changes by \(0.16 \mathrm{~Wb}\). The mutual inductance between the coils is

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{H}\)
  2. B \(20 \mathrm{H}\)
  3. C \(0.5 \mathrm{H}\)
  4. D \(0.2 \mathrm{H}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.2 \mathrm{H}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic flux in coil B is given by,
\(\Phi=M i_1\)
where, \(M\) is the coefficient of mutual inductance, \(i_1\) is the current in coil A.
\(\Rightarrow M=\frac{\Phi}{i_1}=\frac{0.16 \mathrm{~Wb}}{0.8 \mathrm{~A}}=0.2 \mathrm{H}\)
