# Inductance

### Explanation of question 5

Two inductors, each of a value of 12mH, are connected in parallel. Assuming no mutual inductance, the equivalent inductance will be

1. 6mH
2. 12mH
3. 24mH
4. 144mH

The answer is :- 1 Using a similar formula to that for resistors,

1/L = 1/L1 + 1/L2, thus

1/L = 1/12 + 1/12 = 2/12 = 1/6, thus

L=6/1 = 6mH
