Calculating the equivalent inductance of a simulated inductor

AI Thread Summary
To find the equivalent inductance of a simulated inductor, the discussion emphasizes the need to apply a voltage V to the circuit input and compute the input current I, leading to the relationship V = sLI. The user expresses uncertainty about starting the calculation and mentions attempting node-voltage equations without success. A formula encountered online, L = R1 * R2 * C, is questioned for its validity. The response confirms that the formula appears dimensionally correct, suggesting it may be useful in the context of the problem. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurately determining the equivalent inductance in the larger circuit.

Homework Statement

I am asked to find the equivalent resistance of a simulated inductor shown above. We are told not to worry about the simulated inductor circuit. The simulated inductor will be incorporated into a larger circuit as shown below.

2. The attempt at a solution

I am really not sure where to start or what to do. I tried making node-voltage equations but I don't know if that's going to help anything.

When I was searching online for help I saw a post that said L = R1 * R2 * C. Is this right and how does this work? I would really appreciate any help because I'm not getting much of this.

Apply a voltage V to the circuit input and compute the input current I. You will find that V = sLI. The formula you dug up at least looks right dimensionally.
