Some points on perfect conductors and electric fields:
Perfect conductors or metals have infinite conductivity ideally
An infinite conductivity means for any non-zero electric field
one would get an infinite current density which is physically
impossibleimpossible
Perfect conductors do not have any electric fields inside it
Perfect conductors are always an equipotential surface
At the surface of the perfect conductor, the tangential
component of the electric field must be zero

Ampere’s circuital law
Biot Savart law gives the magnetic field due to a current

From Gauss’s law for magnetic fields, we can understand that
the magnetic field lines are always continuous
In other words, magnetic monopole does not exist in nature

could be separated from each other such that a positive
charge existed independently from a negative charge
Would the same separation of magnetic poles exist?

The tangential component of the magnetic field intensity at
the interface is continuous unless there is a surface current
density present at the interface

51. 3.12 Self and mutual inductance
A circuit carrying current I produces a magnetic field which
causes a flux to pass through each turn of the circuit
If the circuit has N turns, we define the magnetic flux linkage
as
Also, the magnetic flux linkage enclosed by the current
.NψΛ = B dsψ = •∫
r r
Also, the magnetic flux linkage enclosed by the current
carrying conductor is proportional to the current carried by
the conductors
L= Λ/I=
where L is the constant of proportionality called the
inductance of the circuit (unit: Henry)

52. 3.12 Self and mutual inductance
The magnetic energy stored in an inductor is expressed from
circuit theory as:
If instead of having a single circuit, we have two circuits

If instead of having a single circuit, we have two circuits
carrying currents I1 and I2, a magnetic induction exists
between two circuits
Four components of fluxes are produced
The flux for example, is the flux passing through the
circuit 1 due to current in circuit 2
