Question

There are two long co-axial solenoids of same length l . The inner and outer coils have radii r₁ and r₂ and number of turns per unit length n₁ and n₂ , respectively. The ratio of mutual inductance to the self-inductance of the inner-coil is:

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. n₂ n₁

The rate of mutual inductance is given by M = ₀ n ₁ n ₂ ~m ₁^2 ....(i) The rate of self inductance is given by L = ₀ n ₁^2 r ₁^2 .....(ii) Dividing (i) by (ii) M L = n ₂ n ₁
