Given Two identical circular loops Carry same current i in same direction Placed coaxially on the same axis Now, when two loops carrying current in the same direction are brought closer , each loops magnetic field supports the other loops magnetic field. Thus, the mutual inductance MMM between the loops increases . Now, by Lenzs law Any change that tends to increase magnetic flux opposes the original current. So, when mutual inductance MMM increases, to oppose the increased flux, an induced emf is created which tries to decrease the original current. Thus the current in both loops will decrease.
