Here let's take a small element dy in the loop at y distance from the wire

Area of this element dy :

dA=a*dy

The magnetic field at dy (which is y distance away from the wire)

B=\frac{\mu _0I}{2\pi y}

The magnetic field associated with this element dy

d\phi =BdA

d\phi=\frac{\mu _0I}{2\pi y}*ady=\frac{\mu _0Ia}{2\pi}\frac{dy}{y}

\phi=\int_{x}^{a+x}\frac{\mu _0Ia}{2\pi}\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{\mu _0Ia}{2\pi}[lnx]^{a+x}_a=\frac{\mu _0Ia}{2\pi}ln[\frac{a+x}{x}]

 

Now As we know

\phi=MI where M is the mutual inductance 

so

\phi=MI=\frac{\mu _0Ia}{2\pi}ln[\frac{a+x}{x}]

M=\frac{\mu _0a}{2\pi}ln[\frac{a+x}{x}]

Hence mutual inductance between the wire and the loop is:

 \frac{\mu _0a}{2\pi}ln[\frac{a+x}{x}]
