Solution
Consider two long solenoids S1 and S2 of same length (l) such that solenoid S2 surrounds solenoid S1 completely.
Let:
n1 = Number of turns per unit length of S1
n2 = Number of turns per unit length of S2
I1 = Current passed through solenoid S1
Φ21 = Flux linked with S2 due to current flowing through S1
Φ21 ∝ I1
Φ21 = M21I1
Where
M21 = Coefficient of mutual induction of the two solenoids
When current is passed through solenoid S1, an emf is induced in solenoid S2.
Magnetic field produced inside solenoid S1 on passing current through it is given by
B1 = μ0n1I1
Magnetic flux linked with each turn of solenoid S2 will be equal to B1 times the area of cross-section of solenoid S1
Magnetic flux linked with each turn of the solenoid S2 = B1A
Therefore, total magnetic flux linked with the solenoid S2 is given by
Φ21 = B1A × n2l = μ0n1I1 × A× n2l
Φ21 = μ0n1n2AI1
∴ M21 = μ0n1n2Al
Similarly, the mutual inductance between the two solenoids, when current is passed through solenoid S2 and induced emf is produced in solenoid S1, is given by
M12 = μ0n1n2Al
∴ M12 = M21 = M (say)
Hence, coefficient of mutual induction between the two long solenoids is given by
M = `μ (n_1n_2A)/l`

The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is B = µ0 ni. It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
