                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum As, 2L + 2M = 12 
 2L – 2M = 4
 Then, L = 4
 ⇒ M = 2
 To get maximum value in parallel connection,Lmax = (L + M)(L + M) = 3 mH. 2L + 2M 
 Correct Option: AAs, 2L + 2M = 12 
 2L – 2M = 4
 Then, L = 4
 ⇒ M = 2
 To get maximum value in parallel connection,Lmax = (L + M)(L + M) = 3 mH. 2L + 2M

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum When two inductors are connected in series, the effective inductance 
 Leff = L1 + L2 ± 2M
 In this case, Leff = L1 + L2 – 2M
 = 2 + 4 – 2 × 0.15 = 5.7 mH.Correct Option: CWhen two inductors are connected in series, the effective inductance 
 Leff = L1 + L2 ± 2M
 In this case, Leff = L1 + L2 – 2M
 = 2 + 4 – 2 × 0.15 = 5.7 mH.
