Step-by-step solution
The induced emf across an equivalent inductance L_ eq is given by E = L_ eq dI dt . (A) For two inductors in series, L_ eq = L + L = 2L . Induced emf = 2L dI dt . (Matches with II) (B) For two inductors in parallel, L_ eq = L L L + L = L 2 . Induced emf = 1 2 L dI dt . (Matches with I) (C) For three inductors in parallel, 1 L_ eq = 1 L + 1 L + 1 L = 3 L L_ eq = L 3 . Induced emf = 1 3 L dI dt . (Matches with IV) (D) For two inductors in parallel connected in series with a third, L_ eq = L 2 + L = 3L 2 . Induced emf
