Marks: +1, -0
(a) Define mutual inductance and write its S.I. unit.
(b) A square loop of side ' a ' carrying a current I2 is kept at distance x from an infinitely long straight wire carrying a current I1 as shown in the figure. Obtain the expression for the resultant force acting on the loop.
Solution:
(a) Definition of mutual inductance and S.I. unit
(b) Obtaining the expression for resultant force on the loop
(a) Mutual inductance equals the magnetic flux associated with a coil when unit current flows in its neighbouring coil.
Alternatively,
Mutual inductance equals the induced emf in a coil when the rate of change of current in its neighbouring coil is one ampere/ second.
S.I unit: henry (H) or weber/ampere (or any other correct SI unit)
(b) Force per unit length between two parallel straight conductors
F=µ04π2I1I2d
Force on the part of the loop which is parallel to infinite straight wire and at a distance x from it.
F1=µ02πI1I2ax
(away from the infinite straight wire)
Force on the part of the loop which is at a distance (x+a) from it
F2=µ02πI1I2a(x+a)
(towards the infinite straight wire)
Net force F=F1−F2
F=µ02πI1I2a[1x−1x+a]
F=µ02πI1I2a2x(x+a)
(away from the infinite straight wire)
