Mutual Inductance

1.I dont understand where the J2X2 comes from. Everything else seems fine but why is there a J2x2 CHECK ATTACHED PICTURE



THANK YOU

Maybe post the picture somewhere else or explain.

well basically im trying to do mesh analysis to calculate the mesh currents in that picture.......

umm...those are the two equations that the book shows. I understand where all the terms in the first mesh equation come from, but I am confused about where j2x2 comes from in the 2nd mesh equation


Anyone
know?

What you have is j2 occurring twice.

The first one is caused by current I2 in inductor j6; that causes a voltage of I2*j2 to be induced in the j8 inductor.

Then, the I2 current in inductor j8 also causes a voltage of I2*j2 to be induced in inductor j6.

When you have two coupled inductors in series in a loop, such as the I2 loop, the current in each inductor causes a voltage drop in that same inductor, but it also causes a voltage drop in the other inductor.

Thanks makes sense :)
