The correct answer is Henry.

  • Henry is the SI unit of inductance.

Key Points

  • Mutual Inductance is the interaction of one coil's magnetic field on another coil as it induces a voltage in the adjacent coil.
  • It is the basic operating principle of the transformer, motors, generators and many other electrical components that interact with another magnetic field. 
  • The mutual inductance between the two coils can be greatly increased by positioning them on a common soft iron core or by increasing the number of turns.

Additional Information

  • Weber is the SI unit of Magnetic flux.
  • Farad is the SI unit of capacitance.
  • Coulomb is the SI unit of Electric charge .
