SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the coupling coefficient (k) between two p-core inductors when mutual inductance (M) is unknown. The relationship is defined by the equation M = k * sqrt(L1 * L2), where L1 and L2 are the inductances of the coils. The user identifies that the coupling coefficient can also be expressed as mutual impedance divided by the square root of the product of the impedances of each inductor. However, the user expresses uncertainty regarding the calculation of mutual impedance.
