Mutual Inductance Transfer function

[JasonHathaway]

Homework Statement

Find I_o(s)/I_i(s)

Homework Equations

Basic KVL laws.

The Attempt at a Solution

My idea is to start from the RHS of the circuit until I get a relation between I_o(s) and I_i(s).

Actually I stopped at this point, I wondered whether my approach is appropriate or not since the equations is getting longer and longer.

What do you say?

I think you can expect the expressions to get longer and nastier. You've got a circuit with four inductors, a mutual inductance and a capacitor, so it's going to have some complex behavior in its general solution. It would be considerably simpler if the input current was confined to being a single frequency sinewave

If it were me I'd think of "replacing" the input current and R₂ with a Thevenin equivalent just to get rid of one loop, then write mesh equations and use Cramer's Rule to solve symbolically for the capacitor current (mesh 3). Then all the hairy parts will be confined to one step: the hammering out of the two 3 x 3 determinants.

Homework Statement

Find I_o(s)/I_i(s)

In the I2 loop is a resistor R2, but the resistor in parallel with the input source also looks like R2 to me. Are they really both R2?

Also, your equations so far don't include LR; I see LL but not LR.

I would agree with gneill to change the current input to a Thevenin.
Then, you stated you want to use KVL but you used KCL instead. Stick to KVL. This is not a complicated circuit. Just two equations.
Also, use lowet case for the Laplace variable s.
