The pure inductors each of inductance \(6 \mathrm{H}\) are connected as shown in the figure. Their equivalent inductance between the points ' \(\mathrm{P}\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{Q}\) ' is

  1. A \(0.5 \mathrm{H}\)
  2. B \(18 \mathrm{H}\)
  3. C \(6.3 \mathrm{H}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{H}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \mathrm{H}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the given circuit, one end of each inductor is joined together. Similarly, the other end of each inductor is joined together. Hence the three inductors are connected in parallel. Their equivalent inductance is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{L}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{6} \\
& \therefore \mathrm{L}=2 \mathrm{H}
\end{aligned}
