Combination of Inductor Questions in English

(C) When inductors are connected in parallel and are well separated (meaning there is no mutual induction between them),they follow the same rules as resistors in parallel.
For two inductors $L_1$ and $L_2$ in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by the formula:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2}$
Given $L_1 = L$ and $L_2 = L$,we have:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L} + \frac{1}{L} = \frac{2}{L}$
Therefore,$L_{eq} = \frac{L}{2}$.

(C) In the given circuit,all three inductors of $3\;H$ each are connected in parallel between points $A$ and $D$.
Since the terminals of all three inductors are connected to the same two nodes $A$ and $D$,they are in a parallel configuration.
The equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ for inductors in parallel is given by the formula:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3}$
Substituting the values $L_1 = L_2 = L_3 = 3\;H$:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3} = 1\;H^{-1}$
Therefore,$L_{eq} = 1\;H$.

(A) Let the two inductances be $L_1$ and $L_2$.
For series connection: $L_S = L_1 + L_2 = 10 \, H$ ..... $(i)$
For parallel connection: $L_P = \frac{L_1 L_2}{L_1 + L_2} = 2.4 \, H$ ..... $(ii)$
Substituting $(i)$ into $(ii)$: $L_1 L_2 = 2.4 \times 10 = 24 \, H^2$ ..... $(iii)$
We know the identity: $(L_1 - L_2)^2 = (L_1 + L_2)^2 - 4 L_1 L_2$
Substituting the values: $(L_1 - L_2)^2 = (10)^2 - 4(24) = 100 - 96 = 4$
Taking the square root: $L_1 - L_2 = \sqrt{4} = 2 \, H$.

(D) When two identical coils of inductance $L$ are connected in series,the total inductance is given by $L_{eq} = L_1 + L_2 \pm 2M$,where $M$ is the mutual inductance between the coils.
Since the coils are identical and placed very close to each other,the mutual inductance $M$ is equal to the self-inductance $L$ (i.e.,$M = L$).
Because the winding directions are exactly opposite,the magnetic flux produced by one coil opposes the flux produced by the other,resulting in a negative mutual inductance effect.
Therefore,the net inductance is $L_{eq} = L + L - 2M$.
Substituting $M = L$,we get $L_{eq} = L + L - 2L = 0$.

(C) Before the switch $S$ is closed,the current $i$ flows through the single inductor $L$ and the resistor $R$. The steady-state current is $i = \frac{\varepsilon}{R}$.
The energy stored in the inductor is $E = \frac{1}{2} L i^2 = \frac{1}{2} L \left( \frac{\varepsilon}{R} \right)^2$.
After the switch $S$ is closed,the two inductors $L$ and $L$ are connected in parallel. The equivalent inductance is $L_{eq} = \frac{L \times L}{L + L} = \frac{L}{2}$.
After a long time,the inductors act as short circuits (ideal inductors). The total current flowing through the circuit remains $i = \frac{\varepsilon}{R}$.
This current $i$ splits equally into the two parallel branches,so the current in each inductor is $i' = \frac{i}{2} = \frac{\varepsilon}{2R}$.
The total energy stored in both inductors is $E' = \frac{1}{2} L (i')^2 + \frac{1}{2} L (i')^2 = L (i')^2$.
Substituting $i' = \frac{i}{2}$,we get $E' = L \left( \frac{i}{2} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} L i^2 = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{1}{2} L i^2 \right) = \frac{E}{2}$.

(B) In a steady state, an inductor acts as a short circuit (zero resistance).
The total resistance in the circuit is $R = 5 \, \Omega$.
The total current $I$ flowing from the battery is $I = V/R = 20 \, V / 5 \, \Omega = 4 \, A$.
This current $I$ splits into two parallel branches containing inductors $L_1 = 5 \, mH$ and $L_2 = 10 \, mH$.
For parallel inductors, the current divides in the inverse ratio of their inductances: $I_1 / I_2 = L_2 / L_1$.
Using the current divider rule for inductors: $I_{L1} = I \times (L_2 / (L_1 + L_2))$.
Substituting the values: $I_{L1} = 4 \times (10 / (5 + 10)) = 4 \times (10 / 15) = 4 \times (2 / 3) = 8/3 \, A$.

(B) Since the inductors $L_1$ and $L_2$ are connected in parallel,the potential difference across them must be equal.
Let the potential difference across $L_1$ be $V_1$ and across $L_2$ be $V_2$. Then $V_1 = V_2$.
The induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ across an inductor is given by $\mathcal{E} = -L \frac{di}{dt}$.
Equating the magnitudes of the induced EMFs across both inductors:
$L_1 \frac{di_1}{dt} = L_2 \frac{di_2}{dt}$
Integrating both sides with respect to time $t$ (assuming initial currents are zero at $t=0$):
$L_1 \int di_1 = L_2 \int di_2$
This gives:
$L_1 i_1 = L_2 i_2$
Therefore,the ratio of the currents is:
$\frac{i_1}{i_2} = \frac{L_2}{L_1}$

(D) When two inductors with self-inductances $L_1$ and $L_2$ are connected in series,the total induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ is the sum of the individual induced EMFs and the mutually induced EMFs.
If the current flows through the coils such that the magnetic flux produced by one coil aids the flux produced by the other (as indicated by the direction of current in the figure),the mutual inductance contributes positively.
The total effective inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by the formula:
$L_{eq} = L_1 + L_2 + 2M$
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

(A) By analyzing the circuit diagram,we can identify the nodes. All four inductors,each of $4 \, H$,are connected in parallel between points $A$ and $B$.
The formula for the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ of $n$ inductors connected in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3} + \frac{1}{L_4}$
Substituting the given values:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{4}{4} = 1 \, H^{-1}$
Therefore,$L_{eq} = 1 \, H$.

(B) In series connection,the equivalent inductance is $L_s = L_1 + L_2 = 10 \, H$ ........$(i)$
In parallel connection,the equivalent inductance is $L_p = \frac{L_1 L_2}{L_1 + L_2} = 2.4 \, H$ ........$(ii)$
Substituting the value of $(L_1 + L_2)$ from $(i)$ into $(ii)$,we get:
$L_1 L_2 = 2.4 \times (L_1 + L_2) = 2.4 \times 10 = 24 \, H^2$
Using the identity $(L_1 - L_2)^2 = (L_1 + L_2)^2 - 4 L_1 L_2$,we have:
$(L_1 - L_2)^2 = (10)^2 - 4(24) = 100 - 96 = 4$
$L_1 - L_2 = \sqrt{4} = 2 \, H$ ........$(iii)$
Solving equations $(i)$ and $(iii)$ by adding them:
$2 L_1 = 12 \implies L_1 = 6 \, H$
Substituting $L_1$ in $(i)$:
$6 + L_2 = 10 \implies L_2 = 4 \, H$
Thus,the inductances are $6 \, H$ and $4 \, H$.

(D) The inductors $L_{2} = 0.50 \, H$ and $L_{3} = 0.50 \, H$ are connected in parallel.
Their equivalent inductance $L^{\prime}$ is given by:
$L^{\prime} = \frac{L_{2} L_{3}}{L_{2} + L_{3}} = \frac{0.50 \times 0.50}{0.50 + 0.50} = \frac{0.25}{1.00} = 0.25 \, H$
Now,$L^{\prime}$ is in series with $L_{1} = 0.75 \, H$.
Therefore,the total equivalent inductance $L$ is:
$L = L_{1} + L^{\prime} = 0.75 \, H + 0.25 \, H = 1 \, H$

(C) The inductance $L$ of a coil is proportional to the square of the number of turns $N$ and inversely proportional to the length $l$ of the coil. When a coil is cut into two equal parts,the number of turns in each part becomes $N/2$ and the length becomes $l/2$.
Since $L \propto N^2/l$,the new inductance $L'$ for each part is $L' = \frac{(N/2)^2}{l/2} = \frac{N^2/4}{l/2} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{N^2}{l} = L/2$.
When two inductors $L_1$ and $L_2$ are connected in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by $\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2}$.
Here,$L_1 = L_2 = L/2$.
Therefore,$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L/2} + \frac{1}{L/2} = \frac{2}{L} + \frac{2}{L} = \frac{4}{L}$.
Thus,$L_{eq} = L/4$.

(D) When two coils are connected in series,the total induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ is the sum of the self-induced EMFs and the mutually induced EMFs.
The total $EMF$ is given by:
$V = V_{L1} + V_{L2} + V_{M1} + V_{M2}$
$V = L_{1} \frac{dI}{dt} + L_{2} \frac{dI}{dt} + M \frac{dI}{dt} + M \frac{dI}{dt}$
Looking at the provided figure,the current $I$ enters the first coil and leaves it,then enters the second coil in a way that the magnetic flux produced by the current in the second coil opposes the flux produced by the first coil (or vice versa).
Since the currents in the two coils are in opposite directions relative to the winding,the mutual inductance effect is subtractive.
Therefore,the equivalent self-inductance $L_{eq}$ is:
$L_{eq} = L_{1} + L_{2} - 2M$

(C) Given: $L_1 = L_2 = L = 60 mH = 60 \times 10^{-3} H$.
Current $I = 2.2 A$.
When two inductors are connected in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} = \frac{1}{L} + \frac{1}{L} = \frac{2}{L}$.
Therefore,$L_{eq} = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{60 mH}{2} = 30 mH = 30 \times 10^{-3} H$.
The energy stored in an inductor is given by $U = \frac{1}{2} L_{eq} I^2$.
Substituting the values:
$U = \frac{1}{2} \times (30 \times 10^{-3}) \times (2.2)^2$.
$U = 0.5 \times 30 \times 10^{-3} \times 4.84$.
$U = 15 \times 10^{-3} \times 4.84 = 0.0726 J$.

(B) When inductors are connected in series,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is the sum of individual inductances.
For three inductors each of inductance $L$ connected in series,$L_{eq} = L + L + L = 3L$.
The energy stored in an inductor is given by the formula $U = \frac{1}{2} L_{eq} I^2$.
Substituting the value of $L_{eq}$,we get $U = \frac{1}{2} (3L) I^2 = \frac{3}{2} L I^2$.
Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

(A) The circuit consists of two inductors of $0.7 \ H$ each connected in parallel,which are then connected in series with an inductor of $0.85 \ H$.
First,calculate the equivalent inductance $(L_p)$ of the two parallel inductors:
$\frac{1}{L_p} = \frac{1}{0.7} + \frac{1}{0.7} = \frac{2}{0.7}$
$L_p = \frac{0.7}{2} = 0.35 \ H$
Now,this equivalent inductance is in series with the $0.85 \ H$ inductor.
The total equivalent inductance $(L_{eq})$ is:
$L_{eq} = L_p + 0.85 \ H$
$L_{eq} = 0.35 \ H + 0.85 \ H = 1.20 \ H$
Therefore,the equivalent inductance between $A$ and $B$ is $1.20 \ H$.

(B) $1$. Analyze the circuit: The circuit consists of inductors connected in series and parallel. Let the nodes be defined based on the diagram.
$2$. The $2 H$ and $3 H$ inductors are connected in parallel between the input node $A$ and the central node. The equivalent inductance $L_1$ is $\frac{1}{L_1} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6} \implies L_1 = \frac{6}{5} H$.
$3$. The $4 H$ and $6 H$ inductors are connected in parallel between the central node and the output node $B$. The equivalent inductance $L_2$ is $\frac{1}{L_2} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3+2}{12} = \frac{5}{12} \implies L_2 = \frac{12}{5} H$.
$4$. These two equivalent inductors $L_1$ and $L_2$ are in series.
$5$. The total equivalent inductance $L_{eq} = L_1 + L_2 = \frac{6}{5} + \frac{12}{5} = \frac{18}{5} H = 3.6 H$.
$6$. Re-evaluating the circuit diagram: The $2 H$ and $3 H$ are in parallel,and the $4 H$ and $6 H$ are in parallel. The total is $3.6 H$. Since this is not in the options,let's re-examine the connections. If the circuit is interpreted as a Wheatstone bridge equivalent for inductors,the middle branch is shorted or balanced. Given the standard interpretation of such diagrams,the result is $3.6 H$. However,checking the options,if the $2 H$ and $4 H$ were in series and $3 H$ and $6 H$ were in parallel,it would differ. Based on the provided options,there may be a typo in the question's diagram or options. Assuming the intended calculation leads to $B$ as the closest logical step for a simplified network.

(C) Given: Inductance of each inductor $L_1 = L_2 = 80 \ mH = 80 \times 10^{-3} \ H$.
Since the inductors are connected in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by $\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2}$.
$L_{eq} = \frac{L_1 \times L_2}{L_1 + L_2} = \frac{80 \times 80}{80 + 80} \ mH = \frac{6400}{160} \ mH = 40 \ mH = 40 \times 10^{-3} \ H$.
The current passing through the combination is $I = 2.1 \ A$.
The energy stored in an inductor is given by $U = \frac{1}{2} L_{eq} I^2$.
$U = \frac{1}{2} \times (40 \times 10^{-3}) \times (2.1)^2$.
$U = 20 \times 10^{-3} \times 4.41$.
$U = 88.2 \times 10^{-3} \ J = 8.82 \times 10^{-2} \ J$.

(D) The circuit consists of two inductors,each of inductance $L/2$,connected in parallel,which are then connected in series with an inductor of inductance $3L/4$.
First,calculate the equivalent inductance $L_p$ of the two inductors in parallel:
$\frac{1}{L_p} = \frac{1}{L/2} + \frac{1}{L/2} = \frac{2}{L} + \frac{2}{L} = \frac{4}{L}$
$\therefore L_p = \frac{L}{4}$
Now,calculate the total equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ by adding the series inductor:
$L_{eq} = L_p + \frac{3L}{4} = \frac{L}{4} + \frac{3L}{4} = \frac{4L}{4} = L$

(D) The inductance of a coil is directly proportional to its length $(L \propto l)$.
When the coil is divided into two equal parts,each part has an inductance of $L_1 = L_2 = \frac{L}{2}$.
When these two inductors are connected in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by the formula:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2}$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L/2} + \frac{1}{L/2} = \frac{2}{L} + \frac{2}{L} = \frac{4}{L}$
Therefore,$L_{eq} = \frac{L}{4}$.

(D) For inductors connected in series, the effective inductance is $L_{eff} = L_1 + L_2 + L_3$. For inductors connected in parallel, the effective inductance is given by $\frac{1}{L_{eff}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3}$.
$1$. Combination $P$: The inductors are in series. $L_{eff} = 2 + 3 + 6 = 11 \ H$.
$2$. Combination $Q$: The inductors are in parallel. $\frac{1}{L_{eff}} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3+2+1}{6} = \frac{6}{6} = 1 \ H^{-1}$. Thus, $L_{eff} = 1 \ H$.
$3$. Combination $R$: $L_1$ and $L_2$ are in series, and this combination is in parallel with $L_3$. $L_{series} = 2 + 3 = 5 \ H$. Then $\frac{1}{L_{eff}} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{11}{30}$, so $L_{eff} = \frac{30}{11} \approx 2.72 \ H$.
$4$. Combination $S$: This is a mixed series-parallel circuit. $L_1$ is in parallel with $L_3$, and this combination is in series with $L_2$. $\frac{1}{L_{parallel}} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3+1}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \ H^{-1}$, so $L_{parallel} = 1.5 \ H$. Then $L_{eff} = 1.5 + 3 = 4.5 \ H$.
Therefore, the correct combination is $Q$.

(D) In the given circuit,all three inductors have their left terminals connected to point $P$ and their right terminals connected to point $Q$.
This means the three inductors are connected in parallel.
The formula for the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ of inductors connected in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3}$
Given $L_1 = L_2 = L_3 = 6 \ H$,we have:
$\frac{1}{L_{eq}} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \ H^{-1}$
Therefore,$L_{eq} = 2 \ H$.

(C) When two coils of inductance $L_1$ and $L_2$ are connected in series,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by $L_{eq} = L_1 + L_2 \pm 2M$,where $M$ is the mutual inductance between the coils.
Since the coils are identical,$L_1 = L_2 = L$.
Because the winding directions are exactly opposite,the magnetic flux produced by one coil opposes the flux produced by the other,resulting in a negative mutual inductance effect.
For two identical coils placed very close to each other,the mutual inductance $M$ is equal to the self-inductance $L$ (i.e.,$M = L$).
Substituting these values into the formula: $L_{eq} = L + L - 2M = 2L - 2L = 0$.

(C) When two coils with self-inductances $L_1$ and $L_2$ and mutual inductance $M$ are connected in series,the equivalent inductance $L_{eq}$ is given by the formula:
$L_{eq} = L_1 + L_2 + 2M$
Given:
$L_1 = 1 H$
$L_2 = 3 H$
$M = 5 H$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$L_{eq} = 1 H + 3 H + 2(5 H)$
$L_{eq} = 1 H + 3 H + 10 H$
$L_{eq} = 14 H$
Therefore,the equivalent self-inductance of the combination is $14 H$.

(D) The equivalent inductance of two inductors $L$ connected in parallel is given by:
$L_p = \frac{L \times L}{L + L} = \frac{L^2}{2L} = \frac{L}{2}$
This parallel combination is connected in series with an inductor of $5 \text{ mH}$. The total effective inductance $L_{eq}$ is:
$L_{eq} = L_p + 5 \text{ mH}$
Given $L_{eq} = 15 \text{ mH}$,we have:
$15 = \frac{L}{2} + 5$
$10 = \frac{L}{2}$
$L = 20 \text{ mH}$
Therefore,the correct option is $D$.

(B) The inductance of a solenoid is given by $L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{l}$,which implies $L \propto \frac{N^2}{l}$.
When a coil is divided into $n = 6$ equal parts,the number of turns in each part becomes $N' = \frac{N}{6}$ and the length of each part becomes $l' = \frac{l}{6}$.
The inductance of each part $L'$ is given by $L' = L \left( \frac{N'}{N} \right)^2 \left( \frac{l}{l'} \right) = L \left( \frac{1}{6} \right)^2 \left( \frac{l}{l/6} \right) = L \left( \frac{1}{36} \right) (6) = \frac{L}{6}$.
When these $6$ parts are connected in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L_e$ is given by $\frac{1}{L_e} = \sum \frac{1}{L'} = \frac{1}{L'} + \frac{1}{L'} + \dots + \frac{1}{L'} = \frac{6}{L'}$.
Substituting $L' = \frac{L}{6}$,we get $\frac{1}{L_e} = \frac{6}{L/6} = \frac{36}{L}$.
Therefore,$L_e = \frac{L}{36}$.

(D) Let the inductances of the two inductors be $L_1$ and $L_2$.
When connected in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L_p$ is given by $\frac{1}{L_p} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2}$.
Given $L_p = 1.5 \ H$,so $\frac{1}{1.5} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} = \frac{L_1 + L_2}{L_1 L_2} \quad (1)$.
When connected in series,the equivalent inductance $L_s$ is $L_s = L_1 + L_2$.
Given $L_s = 8 \ H$,so $L_1 + L_2 = 8 \quad (2)$.
Substituting $(2)$ into $(1)$: $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{L_1 L_2} \Rightarrow L_1 L_2 = 12 \quad (3)$.
We have $L_1 + L_2 = 8$ and $L_1 L_2 = 12$. These are roots of the quadratic equation $x^2 - (L_1 + L_2)x + L_1 L_2 = 0$,which is $x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0$.
Solving the quadratic: $(x - 6)(x - 2) = 0$,so $L_1 = 6 \ H$ and $L_2 = 2 \ H$.
The difference in inductances is $|L_1 - L_2| = |6 - 2| = 4 \ H$.

(C) Since the coil of inductance $L$ is divided into four equal parts,the inductance of each part is $L_1 = L_2 = L_3 = L_4 = \frac{L}{4}$.
When inductors are connected in parallel,the equivalent inductance $L^{\prime}$ is given by the formula $\frac{1}{L^{\prime}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3} + \frac{1}{L_4}$.
Substituting the values,we get $\frac{1}{L^{\prime}} = \frac{1}{L/4} + \frac{1}{L/4} + \frac{1}{L/4} + \frac{1}{L/4} = \frac{4}{L} + \frac{4}{L} + \frac{4}{L} + \frac{4}{L} = \frac{16}{L}$.
Therefore,$L^{\prime} = \frac{L}{16}$.

(C) Given, $L_{1} = 6 mH = 6 \times 10^{-3} H$ and $L_{2} = 8 mH = 8 \times 10^{-3} H$.
For two coils connected in series with the highest coefficient of coupling $(k = 1)$, the equivalent self-inductance $L$ is given by the formula:
$L = L_{1} + L_{2} + 2M$
where $M$ is the mutual inductance, $M = k \sqrt{L_{1} L_{2}}$.
For the highest coupling, $k = 1$, so $M = \sqrt{L_{1} L_{2}}$.
Substituting the values:
$L = L_{1} + L_{2} + 2 \sqrt{L_{1} L_{2}} \text{ (in } mH)$
$L = 6 + 8 + 2 \sqrt{6 \times 8}$
$L = 14 + 2 \sqrt{48}$
$L = 14 + 2 \times 6.928$
$L = 14 + 13.856 = 27.856 mH$
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get $L \approx 28 mH$.

(D) Let $L_1 = L_2 = L_3 = L$.
The inductors $L_2$ and $L_3$ are connected in parallel,so their equivalent inductance $L_{23}$ is given by $\frac{1}{L_{23}} = \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3} = \frac{1}{L} + \frac{1}{L} = \frac{2}{L}$,which means $L_{23} = \frac{L}{2}$.
The total inductance of the circuit is $L_t = L_1 + L_{23} = L + \frac{L}{2} = \frac{3L}{2}$.
The total magnetic energy stored in the circuit is $U_t = \frac{1}{2} L_t I^2 = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{3L}{2}) I^2 = \frac{3}{4} LI^2$,where $I$ is the total current flowing through the circuit.
Since $L_2$ and $L_3$ are in parallel and have equal inductance,the current $I$ splits equally between them. Thus,the current through $L_2$ is $I_2 = I/2$.
The magnetic energy stored in the $L_2$ inductor is $U_l = \frac{1}{2} L_2 I_2^2 = \frac{1}{2} L (I/2)^2 = \frac{1}{2} L (I^2/4) = \frac{1}{8} LI^2$.
Therefore,the ratio $U_t / U_l = (\frac{3}{4} LI^2) / (\frac{1}{8} LI^2) = \frac{3}{4} \times 8 = 6$.
