Question
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.

Solution
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)`
