The coefficient of mutual inductance between two coils depends on

The coefficient of mutual inductance between two coils depends on

  • A. medium between the coils
  • B. separation between the two coils
  • C. orientation of the two coils
  • D. all of the above

Step-by-step solution

The mutual inductance between two coils depends on the geometry and number of turns of the coils, the separation between them, their relative orientation, and the magnetic permeability of the medium between them. Therefore, all given factors (medium, separation, orientation) influence the coefficient of mutual inductance.
