(i) Define mutual inductance. (ii) A pair of adjacent coils has a mutual inductance of 1.5H. If the current in one coil changes from 0 to 20A in 0.5s, what is the change of flux linkage with the other coil?

Solution
(i) : Mutual inductance (M) is the property of the coils that a current is induced in the secondary coil if there is a change in current in the primary coil. Its SI unit is Henry. (ii) : Given : M=1.5H Change of current ΔI=20−0=20A Change of flux Δϕ=MΔI=1.5×20=30Wb
