Two coils are connected in series with their fluxes aiding. The total inductance is

  • A.the sum of the self inductances minus twice the mutual inductance
  • B.the geometric mean of the two self inductances
  • C.the sum of the self inductances plus twice the mutual inductance
  • D.the sum of the self inductances alone

Answer: C

Each coil links its own flux and that of the other, so the mutual term appears twice. Reversing one coil makes the fluxes oppose and the mutual term is subtracted twice instead, which is the standard method of measuring mutual inductance from two series readings.
