Assume a current i flows through the larger square loop of side L. The magnetic field generated by it at its center acts as a uniform field across the very small inner loop of side .
The magnetic field at the center of the large square loop (distance d = L/2 from each side, angles 45^°):
B = 4 × [ (μ₀ i)/(4π (L/2)) ( 45^° + 45^°) ] B = (μ₀ i)/(π (L/2)) ( 2√(2) ) B = 2√(2) μ₀ iπ LStep 2: Mutual Inductance Calculation
Flux linkage for the inner loop:
φ = B · ² φ = 2√(2) μ₀ iπ L ²Given L = ²:
φ = 2√(2) μ₀ iπ ( ²) ² = 2√(2) μ₀ iπMutual inductance M:
M = (φ)/(i) = 2√(2) μ₀πUsing μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷:
M = 2√(2) × 4π × 10⁻⁷π M = 8√(2) × 10⁻⁷ H M = √(128) × 10⁻⁷ HComparing with √(x) × 10⁻⁷, we get x = 128.
