A single equivalent inductor can replace many inductors connected in series for specific
analysis purposes. We look into series equivalent and constraints on it in this section.
3.3.1 Series Connection of Inductors with Same Initial Current
We consider series connection of ninductors which have no mutual magnetic coupling
among them. Let the inductance values be L

. We assume that they have the same
initial current in the same direction at t 0

. Let the applied voltage be v(t) and the current
in the series combination be i(t) (Fig. 3.3-1).
Applying KVL along with the element equation of inductor, we ...
