Inductors in series add up, just like resistors in series.

The math behind it

L_total = L₁ + L₂ + … (assuming no mutual coupling).

Worked Example

10 mH + 20 mH → 30 mH.

Frequently Asked Questions

What about mutual inductance?

Magnetic coupling between coils adds or subtracts depending on orientation.
