A small solenoid is kept inside a much larger solenoid, with their axes parallel to each other. The small solenoid has a cross-sectional radius \(r_1,\) length \(l_1\) and the total number of turns \(N_1.\) The corresponding quantities for the larger solenoid are: \(r_2,~ l_2,~ N_2\) respectively.
Their mutual inductance is (nearly) given by:
1. \(\frac{\mu_0\pi r^2_1N_1N_2}{l_2}\)
2. \(\frac{\mu_0\pi r^2_1N_1N_2}{\sqrt{l_1l_2}}\)
3. \(\frac{\mu_0\pi r^2_1N_1N_2}{l_1}\)
4. \(\frac{\mu_0~\pi r_1r_2N_1N_2}{\sqrt{l_1}}\)
