Since the small coil sits well inside the large one, the large coil's field can be treated as uniform over the small coil's area, making the mutual inductance easy to compute directly.

Let a current I2I_2 flow in the larger coil (radius r2r_2). The magnetic field at the common centre due to this coil is:

B2=μ0I22r2B_2 = \dfrac{\mu_0 I_2}{2 r_2}

Since r1≪r2r_1 \ll r_2, this field is essentially uniform over the entire area of the small coil (radius r1r_1), so the flux linked with the small coil is:
