Question

inductors in series can be combined to find the total equivalent inductance by : select one: a. adding the reciprocal of each inductance together b. taking the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of each inductance c. none of the these d. multiplying the inductances together e. adding the inductances together

Answer 1

The total equivalent inductance of inductors in series can be found by taking the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of each inductance. So the correct answer is b).

Step-by-step explanation:

When inductors are connected in series, the total equivalent inductance can be found by taking the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of each inductance.

So the correct answer is b) taking the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of each inductance.

This is similar to how capacitors in series are combined. For capacitors connected in series, the reciprocal of the equivalent capacitance is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.
