Inductors in series (no mutual coupling): . With mutual coupling: (positive if fields aid, negative if they oppose). Inductors in parallel (no mutual coupling): . These rules mirror resistors (series adds, parallel uses reciprocals). The sign of in series depends on whether the coils are wound in the same or opposite directions — a common trap question.
