Interconnection of coils

1.) Series connection: 

If the magnetic fluxes of two coils support each other, then the connection is called series addition.

\(L_{eq}=L_1+L_2+2M\)

If the magnetic fluxes of two coils oppose each other, then the connection is called series opposing.

qImage657d3c38de56d311a7aede5c

\(L_{eq}=L_1+L_2-2M\)

1.) Parallel connection: 

When the direction of magnetic flux produced by the inductors in parallel is in the same direction, it is in parallel addition.

qImage657d3c38de56d311a7aede60

\(L_{eq}={L_1L_2-M^2\over L_1+L_2-2M}\)

When the direction of magnetic flux produced by the inductors in parallel is in the opposite direction, it is in parallel opposing.

qImage657d3c39de56d311a7aede66

\(L_{eq}={L_1L_2-M^2\over L_1+L_2+2M}\)
