Two inductors, L₁ and L₂, are connected in parallel and time-varying current flows the combination. If I₁ and I₂ are the currents passing through the inductor L₁ and L₂ respectively, the ratio (I₂)/(I₁) is (a) (L₂)/(L₁) (b) (L₁)/(L₂) (c) (L₁)/(L₂²) (d) (L₂)/(L₁²)

Answer: (b). Parallel inductors have equal emf: L₁(dI₁)/(dt) = L₂(dI₂)/(dt), so L₁ I₁ = L₂ I₂ (I₂)/(I₁) = (L₁)/(L₂) So the answer is (b).

Combination of Inductors, LR & LC Circuits

Two inductors, $L_1$ and $L_2$ , are connected in parallel and time-varying current flows the combination. If $I_1$ and $I_2$ are the currents passing through the inductor $L_1$ and $L_2$ respectively, the ratio $\frac{I_2}{I_1}$ is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Parallel inductors have equal emf: $L_1\frac{dI_1}{dt} = L_2\frac{dI_2}{dt}$ , so $L_1 I_1 = L_2 I_2$
$\frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{L_1}{L_2}$
So the answer is (b).
