When Inductors Are Connected in Parallel?

When inductors are connected together in parallel so that the magnetic field of one links with the other, the effect of mutual inductance either increases or decreases the total inductance depending upon the amount of magnetic coupling that exists between the coils.

How do you connect a parallel inductor?

In the parallel connection, the voltage across each inductor is equal and also if the total current is changed, the voltage drop across each individual inductor will be less as compared with series connection. For a given rate of change of current, less will be the inductance in less voltage.

When inductors are connected in series their total inductance acts like?

When inductors are connected in series the total inductance,LT, is the sum of the individual inductances. When inductorsare connected in parallel the total inductance is less than the smallest inductance.
