Question:

Two inductor coils with inductance 10 mH and 20 mH are connected in series. What is the resultant inductance of the combination of the two coils?

Show Hint

In series, inductances add directly; in parallel, use \( \frac{1}{L_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} \).

Solution and Explanation

For inductors in series, the total inductance \( L_{\text{total}} \) is the sum of individual inductances: \[ L_{\text{total}} = L_1 + L_2. \] Given: \( L_1 = 10 \, \text{mH} \), \( L_2 = 20 \, \text{mH} \).
\[ L_{\text{total}} = 10 + 20 = 30 \, \text{mH}. \] Answer: 30 mH.
