What is Coefficient Of Coupling?

The fraction of the magnetic flux generated by the current in one coil that links with the other coil is defined as the coefficient of coupling between the two coils, denoted by k.
Consider two coils, coil A and coil B. When current passes through one coil, it generates magnetic flux. However, not all of this flux will link with the other coupled coil. This is due to leakage flux, and the proportion of the flux that does link is characterized by a factor k, which is known as the coefficient of coupling.
When k = 1, the flux generated by one coil fully links with the other coil, referred to as magnetically tight coupling.When k = 0, the flux from one coil does not link with the other coil at all, meaning the coils are magnetically isolated.

DERIVATION

Consider two magnetic coils, A and B. When current I1 flows through coil A:
The above equation (A) shows the relationship between mutual inductance and self-inductance between the two coils

How to Design and Install a Solar PV System?
How to Design and Install a Solar PV System?
Design and Installation of Solar PV SystemsModern society relies on energy for daily needs like industry, heating, transport, and agriculture, mostly met by non-renewable sources (coal, oil, gas). However, these cause environmental harm, are unevenly distributed, and face price volatility due to limited reserves—driving demand for renewable energy.Solar energy, abundant and capable of meeting global needs, stands out. Standalone PV systems (Fig 1) offer energy independence from utilities.

Load Frequency Control (LFC) & Turbine Governor Control (TGC) in Power System
Load Frequency Control (LFC) & Turbine Governor Control (TGC) in Power System
Brief Introduction to Thermal Generating UnitsElectricity generation relies on both renewable and non - renewable energy resources. Thermal generating units represent a conventional approach to power production. In these units, fuels such as coal, nuclear energy, natural gas, biofuel, and biogas are combusted within a boiler.The boiler of a generating unit is an extremely complex system. In its simplest conception, it can be visualized as a chamber whose walls are lined with pipes, through which

Why 3-Phase Power? Why Not 6, 12 or More for Power Transmission?
Why 3-Phase Power? Why Not 6, 12 or More for Power Transmission?
It is well-known that single-phase and three-phase systems are the most prevalent configurations for power transmission, distribution, and end-use applications. While both serve as fundamental power supply frameworks, three-phase systems offer distinct advantages over their single-phase counterparts.Notably, multi-phase systems (such as 6-phase, 12-phase, etc.) find specific applications in power electronics—particularly in rectifier circuits and variable frequency drives (VFDs)—wher

How Many Poles and Towers are Situated Within a 1-km Span?
How Many Poles and Towers are Situated Within a 1-km Span?
The number of distribution poles and transmission towers within a 1-kilometer stretch of overhead lines varies significantly based on multiple factors, including voltage level, power line type, supporting structure, geographical location, local regulations, and specific grid requirements.In urban areas, distribution utility poles are typically positioned at closer intervals, while in rural regions, they are spaced farther apart. Additionally, the use of taller structures for higher-voltage trans
