Mutual inductance of 1 H means a current changing at 1 A/s in one coil induces exactly 1 V emf in the neighbouring coil.

When the current I1I_1 in a coil (primary) changes, the flux linked with a neighbouring coil (secondary) changes too, inducing an emf ε2\varepsilon_2 in it. This is expressed as ε2=−MdI1dt\varepsilon_2 = -M\dfrac{dI_1}{dt}, where MM is the mutual inductance of the pair of coils, depending on their geometry, number of turns, and the medium between them. From this relation, the mutual inductance is defined as 1 henry (H) when a current changing at the rate of 1 ampere per second in one …
