Question:medium

There are two long co-axial solenoids of the same length \( l \). The inner and outer coils have radii \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) and the number of turns per unit length \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \), respectively. The ratio of mutual inductance to the self-inductance of the inner coil is:

Show Hint

The mutual inductance depends on the turns per unit length of both solenoids, while self-inductance depends only on the inner solenoid.

  • \( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \)
  • \( \frac{n_2}{n_1} \cdot \frac{r_1}{r_2} \)
  • \( \frac{n_2}{n_1} \cdot \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2} \)
  • \( \frac{n_2}{n_1} \)
