For the three coupled coils in figure ??, calculate the
M12 M23
total inductance. we give : L1 = 6 H, L2 = 8 H, L3 = i1 L1 L2 L3
10 H, M12 = 4 H, M23 = 5 H, and M13 = 2 H.

Solution

For coil 1 : L1 − M12 + M13 . For coil 2 : L2 − M12 − M23 For coil 3 : L3 − M23 + M13

Thus : Lt = L1 + L2 + L3 − 2 (M12 + M23 − M13 ) = 24 − 2 × 7 = 10 H
