Assertion (A): The mutual inductance of two coils is doubled if the self-inductance of the primary and secondary coil is doubled.
Reason (R): Mutual inductance \(M \propto \sqrt{L_1 L_2}\).
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false
Solution:
The mutual inductance is given by \(M = k \sqrt{L_1 L_2}\). If \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are doubled, the new mutual inductance becomes \(M' = k \sqrt{(2L_1)(2L_2)} = 2k \sqrt{L_1 L_2} = 2M\). Thus, (A) is true and (R) correctly explains (A).
