Enter the inductance of 2 inductors and the coupling coefficient into the calculator to determine the mutual inductance.

Mutual Inductance Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the mutual inductance between 2 inductors.

I = k * Sqrt ( L1 * L2 )

  • I is the mutual inductance
  • k is the coupling coefficient
  • L1 is one inductance
  • L2 is another inductance

Mutual Inductance Definition

Mutual inductance is the total inductance between two coupled inductors.
