Mutual inductance of a coil and straight wire
Homework Statement A single rectangular loop is placed distance C from a wire of current I. The dimensions of the loop are BxA. The loop and wire both lie in the same plane, and a is at right angles to I. Derive an expression for the mutual inductance, given that you found flux in a previous...- Trogdor27
