yeah so that gives me voltage. I just divided by resistence right?

So the current in the second inductor is the same as the current in the first inductor? Is there a way I can derive this?

Ok, so I figured out that the coupling coefficient is equal to mutual impedance divided by the square root of the product of the impedances of each inductor. I am not sure if this helps, as I do not know how to calculate mutual impedance.

Homework Statement Lets say that I have two inductors whihc share the same iron core and I run a current through the first inductor. I know how voltage changes under mutual induction, but how can I figure out the current produced through mutual induction?

Thank you.

Homework Statement I am trying to find the mtuual inductance between two p-core inductors (they share the same core) but I am not sure how the coupling coefficient would be calculated. I know the inductance of both coils. What else would I have to know in order to calculate the coupling...

Ok, so if I had a solar panel source rated at 3V, all the capacitors in parallel would acquire a voltage of 3V?

I am aware of this fact, but wouldn't charging the capacitors affect the source, i.e. drain it?

I hooked up four capacitors in parallel to a solar charger and found that they all acquired the same voltage. Why is this? I thought that capacitors took energy from the source, which would imply that the second, third, and fourth capacitor had less voltage than the previous one.

So I am looking for answer similar to V2 = V1*k*(N1/N2)*exp(-R1*t/L1) whcih is the voltage as a function of time but I am not sure how a pulsating current affects this result, but I'm assuming I am going to end up having to solve a differential equation.

I'm looking for the transient response. I'm assuming that the current will just be replicated in the second inductor since V2 = k*(N2/N1)*V1 but I'm not 100% sure.

Firstly, even if I had a DC source, I would still get current in the second coil during the first few moments when I turned the power source on, and right after I turned the source off. Secondly, if I simply took the derivative of the function sin(wt)+1 and multiplied it by the mutual...

If I had a Dc source it is clear that the voltage in the second inductor will be M*(dI/dt) where the mutual inductance M = k*sqrt(L1*L2) where L1 and L2 are the inductances of the first and second coils and k is the coefficient of coupling. However, I don't have a DC source. I know what an AC...

I'm not really sure where to put this question. I'm trying to project current output of a ciruit I am building. Suppose that an initial current which pulsates according to time, t, is given as I = sin(wt)+1. I have two inductors which share the same core in close proximity, the first having...
