Problem 3.343

Two identical coils, each of inductance \(L,\) are interconnected (a) in series, (b) in parallel. Assuming the mutual inductance of the coils to be negligible, find the inductance of the system in both cases.

Reveal Answer
(a) \(L_{\text {total }}=2 L\); (b) \(L_{\text {total }}=L / 2\).
