Combination of Inductors, LR & LC Circuits

Two identical coils of inductance LL joined in series are placed very close to each other such that the winding direction of one coil is exactly opposite to that of the other. The net inductance is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Series coils with opposing flux: Leq=L1+L2−2ML_{eq} = L_1 + L_2 - 2M
  2. Placed very close (perfect coupling): M=L⋅L=LM = \sqrt{L\cdot L} = L
  3. Leq=L+L−2L=0L_{eq} = L + L - 2L = 0
  4. So the answer is (c) zero.
