We know that:

It is also true that:

To prove it
start with...:

Model 4:

Note: here we have serial inductances in both ports.

“k” vs. k^2

Exercise: prove the equivalence of the two models

Be Carefull with Inductance

Note:

Consider a coil with intermediate connection

thinking of is as a tranformer...
