Question

Inductors in parallel. Two inductors L j and L2 are connected in parallel and separated by a large distance so that the magnetic field of one cannot affect the other. (a) Show that the equivalent inductance is given by 1 1 1 =-+-. Leq L j L2 (Hint: Review the derivations for resistors in parallel and capacitors in parallel. Which is similar here?) (b) What is the generalization of (a) for N inductors in parallel?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 30 problem number 48 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Inductors in parallel. Two inductors L j and L2 are connected in parallel and separated by a large distance so that the magnetic field of one cannot affect the other. (a) Show that the equivalent inductance is given by 1 1 1 =-+-. Leq L j L2 (Hint: Review the derivations for resistors in parallel and capacitors in parallel. Which is similar here?) (b) What is the generalization of (a) for N inductors in parallel?
From the textbook chapter Induction and Inductance you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
