Two coils of self-inductance 25 mH and 9 mH are placed close together such that the effective flux in one coil is completely linked with the other. The mutual inductance between these coils is

  1. A 34 mH
  2. B 16 mH
  3. C 15 mH
  4. D 6 mH
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 15 mH

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(\mathrm{L}_1\) and \(\mathrm{L}_2\) are the inductances of the first and second coil respectively, then mutual inductance between the two coils is given by
\(\mathrm{M}=\sqrt{\mathrm{L}_1 \mathrm{~L}_2}=\sqrt{25 \times 9}=15 \mathrm{mH}\)
