Definitions [7]
Whenever there is a change in the number of magnetic field lines linked with a conductor, an electromotive force (e.mf) is developed between the ends of the conductor which lasts as long as there is a change in the number of magnetic field lines through the conductor. This phenomenon is called the electromagnetic induction.
and
Faraday's Definition:
Electromagnetic induction is the phenomenon in which an e.m.f is induced in the coil if there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with the coil.
Define self-inductance.
The self-inductance of a circuit is the ratio of magnetic flux (produced due to current in the circuit) linked with the circuit to the current flowing in it.
Define the coefficient of self-induction.
It is defined as magnetic flux linked with the solenoid when unit current flows through it.
Define Mutual Inductance.
The mutual inductance M of two circuits (or coils) is the magnetic flux (Φs) linked with the secondary circuit per unit current (IP) of the primary circuit.
Define a Transformer.
The transformer is a device used for converting low voltage into high voltage and high voltage into low voltage. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
An a.c. generator is a device which converts the mechanical energy into the electrical energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction.
Give any one definition of power factor.
The Power Factor is the ratio of True Power (measured in Watts) to Apparent Power (measured in Volt-Amperes) in an AC circuit.
Power factor (cos Φ) = `"True power"/"Apparent power"`
Theorems and Laws [1]
Two circular loops, one of small radius r and the other of larger radius R, such that R >> r, are placed coaxially with centres coinciding. Obtain the mutual inductance of the arrangement.

Let a current IP flow through the circular loop of radius R. The magnetic induction at the centre of the loop is
BP = `(mu_0I_P)/(2R)`
As, r << R, the magnetic induction BP may be considered to be constant over the entire cross-sectional area of the inner loop of radius r. Hence magnetic flux linked with the smaller loop will be
`Φ_S = B_PA_S = (mu_0I_P)/(2R)pir^2`
Also, ΦS = MIP
∴ M = `Phi_S/I_P = (mu_0pir^2)/(2R)`
