Mutual coupling and Circuitikz?

Question

I am desperately trying to draw mutual coupling between two inductors, something like this:

or

where the actual focus is on the mutual coupling M of the two coils. When I searched the web, I stepped over these two image which were part of a lecture on electrical circuits. Apparently, they are done using Circuitikz, but i was unable do identify the author to ask him directly.

So for example, I would like to add mutual between these two coils:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[siunitx,europeanresistors,cuteinductors,americanvoltages,americancurrents]{circuitikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
\begin{circuitikz}
  \draw (0,0)
  to[sV=$V_0$] (0,2)
  to[L=$L_1$] (2,2)
  to[short] (2,0)
  to[L=$L_2$] (0,0) ;
\end{circuitikz}
 \caption{Two coils without mutual coupling.}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This is one possible solution. amssymb is used for loop currents.

Code

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[siunitx,cuteinductors,americanvoltages,americancurrents]{circuitikz}
\usepackage{latexsym,amssymb,amsmath}
\begin{document}

\begin{circuitikz} 
\draw (0,0) to [R=$R_1$] (2,0) -| (3,-1) to [L,l_=$L_1$] (3,-3) |- (-1,-4) to [V,l=$v_g$] (-1,0) -- (0,0)
(1,-2) node[scale=6]{$\circlearrowright$}
(1,-2) node{$I_1$};
\draw (5,0) to [short] (7,0) -| (8,-1) to [R=$R_2$,] (8,-3) |- (4,-4) to [L,l_=$L_2$] (4,0) -- (4,0) --(5,0)
(6,-2) node[scale=6]{$\circlearrowleft$}
(6,-2) node{$I_2$};
\draw [fill=black] (2.5,-1)node(a){} circle (2pt);
\draw [fill=black] (4.5,-3)node(b){} circle (2pt);
\draw [<->,>=stealth] (a)  to [bend left] node[pos=0.5,fill=white] {M} ++(2,0);
\end{circuitikz}

\begin{circuitikz} 
\draw (0,0) to [R=$R_1$,i=$I_1$] (2,0) -| (3,-1) to [L,l_=$L_1$] (3,-3) |- (-1,-4)   to [V,v=$v_g$] (-1,0) -- (0,0)
(1,-2) node[scale=1.5]{$M\frac{di_2}{dt}L_1\frac{di_1}{dt}$};
\draw(1,-0.5)node{-} to [open] (1,-3.5)node(){+}; % adding polarities
\draw(2,-0.5)node{+} to [open] (2,-3.5)node(){-}; % adding polarities
\draw (5,0) to [short,i<=$I_2$] (7,0)  -| (8,-1)   to [R=$R_2$,] (8,-3) |- (4,-4)   to [L,l_=$L_2$] (4,0)  -- (4,0) --(5,0) 
(6,-2) node[scale=1.5]{$L_2\frac{di_2}{dt}M\frac{di_1}{dt}$};
\draw(5,-0.5)node{+} to [open] (5,-3.5)node(){-}; % adding polarity
\draw(6,-0.5)node{-} to [open] (6,-3.5)node(){+}; % adding polarity

\draw [fill=black] (2.5,-1)node(a){} circle (2pt);
\draw [fill=black] (4.5,-3)node(b){} circle (2pt);
\draw [<->,>=stealth] (a)  to [bend left] node[pos=0.5,fill=white] {M} ++(2,0);
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}

Jesse provided you an answer with your coupling question, this show how you can use tikz to draw the circular arrows so that you have matching arrow heads and also the ability to control the color:
