Overview
In a parallel circuit, inductors are connected across the same two nodes. The total inductance is found using the reciprocal formula, similar to resistors in parallel.
💡
Pro Tips
Total inductance in parallel is always smaller than the smallest individual inductor.
The formula is 1/L_total = 1/L1 + 1/L2 + ... + 1/Ln.
This formula assumes no mutual inductance (coupling) between the inductors.

Fun Facts
"Indutors in parallel share the same voltage, and the total current is divided between them."
"In reality, closely placed inductors might have magnetic coupling, which changes the total inductance."
"High-power filters often use parallel inductors to share the current load."
