Inductors in parallel combine like resistors in parallel — the total is smaller than the smallest.

The math behind it

1/L = 1/L₁ + 1/L₂ + …. Leave unused inductors at 0.

Worked Example

10 mH ∥ 20 mH → 6.67 mH.

Frequently Asked Questions

Two equal inductors in parallel?

The total is half of one of them.
