British Dictionary definitions for mutual inductance
a measure of the mutual induction between two magnetically linked circuits, given as the ratio of the induced electromotive force to the rate of change of current producing it. It is usually measured in henries: Symbol: M, L 12 Also called: coefficient of mutual induction
