Inductors & DC Transients (Mixed)

Three pure inductors each of inductance 6H are connected as shown in the figure. Their equivalent inductance between the points 'P' and 'Q' is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

PQ6 H6 H6 H
  1. Follow the wires: the left end of the first inductor is P and its right end is joined by the top wire to Q.
  2. The middle inductor runs from that Q-node to the node that the bottom wire joins to P.
  3. The third inductor runs from that P-node to Q. So all three inductors lie between P and Q, i.e. in parallel.
  4. 1Leq=36⇒Leq=2 H\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{3}{6} \Rightarrow L_{eq} = 2\text{ H}
  5. So the answer is (d) 2 H.
