AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the mutual inductance between two inductors, L1 and L2, with a coefficient of coupling (k) of 0.8. The voltage induced in L1 due to current I2 in L2 is calculated as I2 multiplied by the mutual inductance M. There is a debate about the correct value of M, with calculations suggesting it should be 0.008 rather than 0.01, leading to an impedance of 40j instead of 50j. The conversation highlights the importance of accurately applying the coefficient of coupling in these calculations, suggesting that a mistake may have been made in previous computations. Accurate calculations are crucial for understanding the behavior of coupled inductors in electrical circuits.

i can't understand how they how the member of which i point too

You haven't designated the two inductors, so I'm going to call the inductor which is common to the two loops L1, and the other inductor L2.

The term you're asking about comes about because the current I2 passes through L2 and induces a voltage in L1. The voltage induced in L1 has the value I2*M.

I think you may have made a mistake in calculating M. It looks like you didn't properly take into account the coefficient of coupling which is .8. Shouldn't M be j40 instead of j50?
 
L1 is 0.02
L2 is 0.005
is there still a mistake?

M = .8 * SQRT(.02*.005) = .8 * .01 = .008

then its impedance would be 40j, not 50j.
 
so if k=0.8 than we need to add 0.8 I2
this is the affect of the other coil
??
 
they say jwM=j*5000*0.01=50
 
Look at the computation you have in your image:

0.8 = K = |M|/SQRT(L1*L2) => |M| = .8*SQRT(L1*L2). (What happened to the .8?)

From that M = .008

You should be able to find K = M/SQRT(L1*L2) in any textbook, or here:

Perhaps "they" have made a mistake; it does happen.
