When two inductors are connected in parallel, their equivalent inductance is given by:

1/L = 1/L1 + 1/L2

where L1 and L2 are the individual inductances.

Substituting the given values, we get:

1/L = 1/15 + 1/20

Simplifying and finding the common denominator, we get:

1/L = (4 + 3)/60

1/L = 7/60

Multiplying both sides by 60, we get:

L = 60/7 ≈ 8.57 H

Therefore, the total inductance of the circuit is approximately 8.57 H.
