coefficient of mutual inductance


of: a pair of coils (or circuits), or of a transformer,

is: the quantity that relates the magnitude of the induced voltage in one coil to the rate of change of current, in the other coil, through the equation

   [P4.4]

has as its SI unit: the henry (H), where    [P4.4]

often is abbreviated: to mutual inductance.   [P4.4]
