    10
    A small square loop of side 'a' and one turn is placed inside a larger square loop of side bb and one turn (b>>a)(b> >a). The two loops are coplanar with their centres coinciding. If a current II is passed in the square loop of side ' bb ', then the coefficient of mutual inductance between the two loops is :
