inductors act as one equivalent inductance L equiv . To find L equiv , we first note

Question:

inductors act as one equivalent inductance L_equiv. To find L_equiv, we first note that because the current flows through the inductors sequentially, the factor ΔI/Δt is the same for each.
(a) What is the voltage across each inductor? Express your answers in terms of L₁, L₂, L₃, and ΔI/Δt.
(b) Use the result from part (a) to find the total voltage across all three inductors.
(c) The voltage in part (b) is also equal to the voltage across the equivalent inductance L_equiv. Use this fact to find L_equiv in terms of L₁, L₂, and L₃. The general result for many inductors in series is
