NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

Consider a diagram showing two long solenoids, S1 and S2, placed coaxially. Solenoid S1 has a current I1 passing through it, inducing a magnetic flux in solenoid S2. What does the mutual inductance M21 represent in this setup?

Question diagram
A

The measure of flux linkage with solenoid S2 due to current in S1.

B

The measure of flux linkage with solenoid S1 due to current in S2.

C

The magnetic field strength inside solenoid S1.

D

The electric field strength inside solenoid S2.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Mutual inductance M21 is defined as the measure of flux linkage with solenoid S2 due to a current in solenoid S1, as described in the NCERT context.
