How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Two-circuit mutual inductance, the perfect-linkage bound and ideal-transformer limitations
Conditional two-circuit bookkeeping and smooth-profile realization: the reciprocal energy and instantaneous power, the exact positive-semidefinite bound and the sign-correct perfect-linkage null direction for either winding orientation, the positive common-flux model and its signed reversal, and failure of a universal voltage ratio under strict linkage with accidental histories retained. No physical leakage or loss mechanism and no measurement is asserted.
Example
Assume the lumped circuit model of Lumped circuit approximation: branch data, terminal laws and the declared quasistatic regime with the units of Framework-local SI units, the vacuum constants and the exact/measured status of their values, and let be a constant symmetric block of its inductance matrix with . Let be currents on a nonempty interval (each extending to a map on an open interval containing , as in the model's conventions) with terminal voltages . Assume Countable Choice (, The Axiom of Countable Choice ()) for the realization and bounded-linking clauses (b), inherited from the linkage and energy suppliers.
(a) [Energy and instantaneous power] the stored inductive bookkeeping energy is and by part (a) of Restricted inductor energy LI^2/2 and its identification with the frozen magnetic field energy; the mutual term increases the energy for currents of the same sign and decreases it for opposite signs (as the sign of the product indicates when ).
(b) [Perfect linkage and the bound] if the two currents are realised by fixed compact smooth conserved profiles of the class of The steady-current (magnetostatic) regime, the compact smooth current class and the declared ideal noncompact models(b) with linkage matrix as in Reciprocal linkage coefficients and magnetic energy of smooth compact conserved currents, then for all currents, and evaluating the quadratic form on both and gives the bound moreover if with (perfect linkage), the null direction has pointwise by the vanishing clause of Reciprocal linkage coefficients and magnetic energy of smooth compact conserved currents(c).
(c) [Ideal common-flux model] if , choose any in henries and set , ; then , and . Writing for the common flux linkage, the terminal voltages are and the stored energy is ; equivalently the induced emfs satisfy . Here are dimensionless real effective winding factors, rather than asserted integer turn counts; has unit Wb. This is the explicitly adopted common-linkage ('ideal transformer') model with effective ratio .
(d) [Limitations] for an imperfect realized linkage, , the perfect common-flux voltage ratio is not an identity for all current histories; a particular history can nevertheless satisfy that ratio accidentally (including both voltages zero). Reversing the second winding retains : with put and obtain , with the same energy . The positive-orientation model (c) remains as stated. Winding resistance, hysteresis and core loss, stray capacitance, magnetising current and finite permeability are outside the declared model and are not inferred from it. No measurement is involved; the statements are conditional computations in the ideal model. Regularity on a non-open interval uses the stated neighbourhood extension; if the interval is a singleton its terminal-voltage jets are those of a specified extension, not derivatives inferred from its value restriction.
Verification
Given: The lumped model data, the constant symmetric block with , the interval , the currents with open-neighbourhood extension, the terminal voltages and for clauses (b).
[A1] Countable Choice, written , says every sequence of nonempty sets has a choice function. (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
[F1] The adopted lumped model carries the Faraday branch relation : each terminal potential is the rate of change of the branch flux linkage ; the matrix and terminal data are declared model data. (Lumped circuit approximation: branch data, terminal laws and the declared quasistatic regime).
[F2] For constant symmetric and a current with open-neighbourhood extension, with , and for a smooth compact conserved-profile realization the quadratic form equals the frozen magnetic field energy at each time. (Restricted inductor energy LI^2/2 and its identification with the frozen magnetic field energy).
[F3] For fixed compact smooth conserved profiles with linkage matrix one has , and exactly when pointwise; the matrix is positive definite exactly when the profiles are pointwise linearly independent. (Reciprocal linkage coefficients and magnetic energy of smooth compact conserved currents).
[F4] The compact smooth current class consists of the currents with , extended by zero to . (The steady-current (magnetostatic) regime, the compact smooth current class and the declared ideal noncompact models).
[F5] The Euclidean inner product is ; in particular for and the block one has . (The Euclidean inner product on ).
[F6] Sums, scalar multiples and products of differentiable functions are differentiable, with the sum, scalar and product rules. (Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: , , , and when ).
[F7] The SI units are those of the framework: in volts, in amperes, in seconds, in henries and in henries. (Framework-local SI units, the vacuum constants and the exact/measured status of their values).
Clause (a): by [F5], , which is the displayed . Differentiating termwise with the product and scalar rules of [F6] gives , since ; the sign reading of the mutual term is immediate from for .
Clause (b): under the realization hypothesis, at each by [F3], the block being by hypothesis the linkage matrix of the two profiles. Substituting gives , that is ; substituting gives , that is ; together, . If and , the same expansion gives , so by the vanishing clause of [F3] the associated current vanishes pointwise.
Clause (c): with and one has , and because . Hence, using , and with ; dividing by gives the common ratio, and reverses the common sign. For the energy, by the displayed relations and the binomial expansion.
Clause (d), strict-linkage non-identity: suppose and held for all currents on ; then for every such current. Fix any point (any point when is a singleton) and, for each vector , take the affine history (any fixed ) on , which is the restriction of the affine map of on and hence carries the stated open-neighbourhood extension with ; substituting gives for all , hence and , i.e. . Then and , so , contradicting from ; hence no such makes the ratio a universal identity. Accidental satisfaction occurs: any history with in the kernel of the nonzero functional satisfies at every time, that kernel containing the nonzero vector because the row difference is nonzero; in particular the constant currents give . For the reversed winding with , put ; then and because , so , and .
Steps 1.1-1.4 establish (a)-(d): steps 1.1-1.2 give (a) and the bound and null-direction clauses of (b), and steps 1.3-1.4 give the common-flux model (c) and the limitations (d). The computation is conditional on the adopted lumped model [F1], its units are [F7], and no leakage, loss, material or measurement claim is added; the terminal-voltage jets on a singleton interval are those of the specified extension. Countable Choice is used only through the realization clause (b), via [F3]; the algebraic clauses (a), (c) and (d) are choice-free.
Source notes
Fitzpatrick §7.4, printed pp. 222-225, computes the two-solenoid mutual inductance and records perfect linkage with the leakage warning; Griffiths §7.2.3, printed pp. 310-317, derives reciprocity and the Neumann formula; Tong §4.1.2, printed pp. 71-73, gives the single-coil energy and its field-energy representation; the mutual term here is obtained by local expansion of the linkage quadratic form. The example separates what is proved for the declared smooth compact profiles (the PSD bound and the null direction) from what is adopted as the common-flux ideal-transformer model, and it proves the failure of a universal voltage ratio under strict linkage by exhibiting the forced row proportionality and its contradiction; no physical transformer behaviour, loss mechanism or measurement is asserted.
