SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the equivalence of inductors L1 and L2 with an equivalent inductor Leq in the context of circuit analysis. The formula for Leq is established as Leq = (L1L2 - M^2) / (L1 + L2 - 2M). Participants confirm the correctness of the calculations and provide insights into the relationship between the currents I, I1, and I2. The thread references a previous discussion on parallel mutual inductances for additional clarity.
