Concept

Series adding: 

qImage657d3c37de56d311a7aede55

\(L_{eq}=L_1+L_2+2M\)

Series opposing:

qImage657d3c38de56d311a7aede5c

\(L_{eq}=L_1+L_2-2M\)

Calculation:

Given, \(4=L_1+L_2+2M\) ......(i)

\(2=L_1+L_2-2M\) ........(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get:

\(3=L_1+L_2\)

Putting value in  equation (i):

\(4=3+2M\)

M = 0.5 H

Additional Information 1.) Parallel adding: 

qImage657d3c38de56d311a7aede60

\(L_{eq}={L_1L_2-M^2\over L_1+L_2-2M}\)

2.) Parallel opposing:

\(L_{eq}={L_1L_2-M^2\over L_1+L_2+2M}\)
