Q

What formula would calculate the total inductance of inductors in series?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inductors in series behave similarly to another basic circuit component when placed in series • Compare how resistors in series vs. parallel combine in basic DC circuits • Think about what happens to total opposition to current (inductance) when you add more coils in series

💭 Think About

• If you place two inductors one after another in the same path, does the total inductance get larger or smaller compared to each one alone? • Which of the formulas given would make the total inductance increase when you add another inductor? • Which answer choice resembles the way resistors add in series in basic circuit theory?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure the formula you pick will make LT greater than either L1 or L2 alone when both are positive values • Eliminate any formula that would make LT smaller than both L1 and L2 in a simple series connection • Check that your chosen formula has consistent units of inductance (henrys, H) and doesn’t invert or divide in a way that changes the units.
