L1 = (μ0.μr.N1 .A) / L

The document discusses mutual inductance between two coils, defining it as the inductance of one coil due to the presence of the other, and describing how it depends on factors like their size, turns, position, and spacing. It provides equations for calculating the self-inductance of each coil and their mutual inductance M, and introduces the coupling coefficient k as a measure of how tightly the coils are coupled. Applications of mutual inductance include transformers, electric motors, generators, and other devices using magnetic fields.

If the flux linked with the L1 and L2 is the same as the current flowing around

them, then the mutual inductance of the first coil to the second coil is given as
M21

The mutual inductance of two coils can be defined as M12= M21 = M

So, two coils mainly depend on the size, turns, position, and spacing between the
two coils.

The self-inductance of the first coil is

L1 = (μ0.μr.N12.A) / L

The self-inductance of the second coils is

L2 = (μ0.μr.N2.A) / L

Cross-multiply the above two formulae

Then the mutual inductance of two coils, which exists between them is given as

M2 = L1. L2

M=√(L1.L2) Henry

The above equation gives magnetic flux= 0

100% magnetic coupling between L1 and L2


Coupling Coefficient

The fraction of magnetic flux linked with the two coils to the
total magnetic flux between the coils is known as the coupling
coefficient and it is denoted by ‘k’. The coupling coefficient is
defined as the ratio of the open circuit to the actual voltage
ratio and the ratio of magnetic flux obtained in both the coils.
Since the magnetic flux of one coil links with another coil.
The coupling coefficient specifies the inductance of an inductor.
If the coefficient coupling k = 1, then the two coils are coupled
together tightly. So, all the lines of magnetic flux of one coil cut
all the turns of another coil. Hence the mutual inductance is the
geometric mean of individual inductances of two coils.
If the inductances of two coils are the same (L1=L2), then the
mutual inductance between the two coils is equal to the
inductance of a single coil. That means,
M= √(L1 . L2) = L
where L = inductance of a single coil.
Coupling Factor between Coils

The coupling factor between coils can be represented as 0 and 1

If the coupling factor is 1, then there is no inductive coupling between the coils.

If the coupling factor is 0, then there is a maximum or full inductive coupling


between the coils.

The inductive coupling is represented in 0 and 1, but not in percentages.

For example, if k= 1 then the two coils are coupled perfectly

If k>0.5, then the two coils are coupled tightly

If k<0.5, then the two coils are coupled loosely.

To find the coefficient coupling factor between the two coils, the following
equation should be applied,

K = M / √(L1 . L2)

M = k. √(L1. L2)

Where L1= inductance of the first coil

L2= inductance of the second coil

M= mutual inductance

K= coupling factor
