Solution and Explanation

The coefficient of coupling, denoted by k, is a dimensionless quantity that represents the degree of coupling between two inductors in a circuit. It is related to the mutual inductance (M) and the individual inductances (L1 and L2) by the formula:
\(k=\frac{M}{\sqrt{(L1\times L2)}}\)
Using the given values:
M = 3H
L1 = 4H
L2 = 9H
We can substitute these values into the formula to find the coefficient of coupling:
\(k=\frac{3}{\sqrt(4\times9)}\)

\(=\frac{3}{\sqrt 36}\)

\(=\frac{3}{6}\)

= 0.5
Therefore, the coefficient of coupling (k) is equal to 0.5.

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-

  1. When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
  2. When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.

Formula:

The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-

e=N × d∅.dt

Where

  • e = induced voltage
  • N = number of turns in the coil
  • Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
  • t = time

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

  1. Electromagnetic induction in AC generator
  2. Electrical Transformers
  3. Magnetic Flow Meter
