An inductor coil of inductance \(L\) is divided into two parts and both parts are connected in parallel. The net inductance is

  1. A L
  2. B 2 L
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Inductance is proportional to the length of the coil so each part will have inductance \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}\)
Net inductance \(=\frac{\mathrm{L}_1 \mathrm{~L}_2}{\mathrm{~L}_1+\mathrm{L}_2}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2} \times \frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}}{\frac{\mathrm{~L}}{2}+\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{4}\)
