Inductance

Mutual Inductance in Coils

Mutual Inductance in Coils

These coils can induce emfs in one another like an inefficient transformer. Their mutual inductance M indicates the effectiveness of the coupling between them. Here a change in current in coil 1 is seen to induce an emf in coil 2. (Note that "E2 induced" represents the induced emf in coil 2. )
