How to Calculate Coupling Coefficient Without Mutual Inductance?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the coupling coefficient without mutual inductance, one must understand the relationship defined by the equation M = k*sqrt(L1*L2), where M is mutual inductance, k is the coupling coefficient, and L1 and L2 are the inductances of the coils. The user acknowledges knowing the inductances but lacks the mutual inductance value needed for direct calculation. An alternative approach discussed involves using mutual impedance, but the user is uncertain about how to calculate this parameter. Ultimately, further information or methods to determine mutual impedance is necessary for calculating the coupling coefficient accurately. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

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 coefficient if I am not given the mutual inductance?

Homework Equations



M = k*sqrt(L1*L2)

where M is mutual inductance, k is coupling coefficient, L1 and L2 are inductances of first and second coils respectively.

The Attempt at a Solution



Dunno.

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.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
