The correct option is 3

Concept:

The mutual inductance (M) between two coils can be defined by the formula:

M = Φ/I

where Φ is the flux linkage (in Weber-turns, Wb-t) and I is the current (in Amperes, A). This formula is derived from the principle that the flux linkage is directly proportional to the current flowing and the proportionality constant is the mutual inductance.

Here, we have a current I of 2A and a flux linkage Φ of 5 Wb-turn. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

M = Φ/I = 5 Wb-t / 2 A M = 2.5 H

So, the mutual inductance between the two coils will be:

2.5 H
