This discussion clarifies the concepts of self-inductance and mutual inductance in electrical coils. It establishes that a change in magnetic flux in a primary coil induces an electromotive force (emf) in both the primary and secondary coils. The self-inductance of the primary coil accounts for the induced voltage due to its own flux, while mutual inductance describes the induced voltage in the secondary coil due to the primary coil's changing flux. Both phenomena occur simultaneously when the coils are in close proximity.
PREREQUISITESElectrical engineering students, educators, and professionals interested in electromagnetic theory and applications in circuit design.
ayush123 said:i am having a doubt that when we find a expression for mutual inductance we say that flux change in primary coil induces emf in secondary coil. but why change in flux doesn't induce any current in primary coil also.
