Two pure inductors, each of self inductance L are connected in parallel but are well separated from each other, then the total inductance is
L
When the coils are connected in parallel, let the currents in the two coils be respectively. Total induced current
............................(1)
because In parallel, induced e.m.f. across each coil will be same
Hence
.......................(2)
be the equivalent inductance
Then
....................(3)
From eqs. (1), (2) and (3), we get
