Inductors in parallel:

Inductors within parallel are combined like resistors in parallel as given by Equation (3-3).

1/ L_eq   = 1/  L₁ + 1/ L₂ +...1/L_N             (3-3)

While only two inductors are in parallel, as display in Figure, Equation (3-3) might be simplified as provided in Equation (3-4).  As display in Equation (3-4), this is valid when there are only two inductors in parallel.

1/ L_eq   = L₁ L₂ / L₁ + L₂                              (3-4)
