Mutual Induction (Noun)
Meaning
Generation of electromotive forces in each other by two adjacent circuits.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural phenomena.
Examples
- Mutual induction between the primary and secondary coils of a transformer enables efficient energy transfer over long distances.
- The phenomenon of mutual induction occurs when two adjacent circuits carrying alternating current influence each other's electromagnetic fields.
- In an ideal transformer, the ratio of primary to secondary voltage is directly proportional to the ratio of turns of the two coils due to mutual induction.
- Mutual induction is the fundamental principle behind various electrical devices such as routers and wireless chargers.
- The efficiency of a wireless charging system largely depends on the degree of mutual induction between the transmitter and receiver coils.
