Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Mutual inductance depends on self inductances and coupling coefficient.
The formula relates these quantities.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
M = k \(\times\) \(\sqrt{L_1 \times L_2}\).
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
L\(_1\) = 9 mH, L\(_2\) = 25 mH, k = 0.5.
M = 0.5 \(\times\) \(\sqrt{9 \times 25}\) = 0.5 \(\times\) \(\sqrt{225}\) = 0.5 \(\times\) 15 = 7.5 mH.
Thus, the mutual inductance is 7.5 mH.
Step 4: Final Answer:
The mutual inductance is 7.5 mH.
Hence, the correct option is (C).
