Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total inductance $L_{total}$ of inductors in parallel is given by the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of their individual inductances: $1/L_{total} = 1/L_1 + 1/L_2$. For a 40 mH and a 24 mH inductor in parallel, $1/L_{total} = 1/40 + 1/24$. Solving this gives $L_{total} = 15$ mH.
