Example
A hollow air cored inductor coil consists of 500 turns of copper wire which produces a
magnetic flux of 10mWb when passing a DC current of 10 Amps. Calculate the self-
inductance of the coil in milli-Henries.
Example:
Calculate the value of the self-induced emf produced in the same coil after
a time of 10mS and current goes to 20 Amps.

Finally,
The subscript (+) was included to indicate that the mutual terms have a
positive sign and are added to the self-inductance values to determine the total
inductance.
If the coils were wound such as shown in Fig. below, where 1 and 2 are in
opposition, the induced voltages due to the mutual terms would oppose that
due to the self-inductance, and the total inductance would be determined by

Above equation is very effective in determining the mutual inductance between two
coils. It states that the mutual inductance is equal to one-quarter the difference
between the total inductance with a positive and negative mutual effect.
It should be clear that the mutual inductance will directly affect the magnitude of
the voltage induced across a coil since it will determine the net inductance of the
coil.
The dot convention is shown in Fig. on the next slide for the series coils

The dot convention is shown in Fig. below for the series coils

If the current through each of the mutually coupled coils is going away
from (or toward) the dot as it passes through the coil, the mutual term will
be positive, as shown for the case in Fig. above.
If the arrow indicating current direction through the coil is leaving the dot
for one coil and entering the dot for the other, the mutual term is negative.
The dot convention also reveals the polarity of the induced voltage across the
mutually coupled coil.
If the reference direction for the current in a coil leaves the dot, the polarity at the
dot for the induced voltage of the mutually coupled coil is positive.
