Parallel transformers - checking my models

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling a parallel transformer circuit with coupled inductors and verifying the equations used. The user presents several equations related to mutual inductance, reluctance, and magnetic flux, seeking confirmation on their correctness and completeness. They express frustration over not receiving adequate help from tutors, highlighting a lack of clarity in deriving the relationship between currents I1 and I2 without derivatives. The user is uncertain if they have enough equations to solve the model and is looking for guidance on any missing equations. The conversation emphasizes the challenges of accurately modeling transformer circuits and the need for precise relationships between variables.

So on the left is a circuit which shows a voltage source and 2 coupled inductors in a parallel magnetic circuit shown on the right (transformer with a parallel core).
Can someone tell me if I am modelling it correctly with the following equations?
Rc1,Rc2,Rc3 are the reluctance of each branch of the transformer core
M = mutual inductance between the coils.
φ1 and φ2 are the flux on left loop and right loop of the magnetic circuit.
φ10 and φ20 are the total flux from L1 and L2 alone
$$M=k\sqrt{L1*L2}\\k=\frac{\phi_{12}}{\phi{1_0}}=\frac{\phi_{21}}{\phi{2_0}}$$

Here are the equations I came up with :

$$
MI_2'+L_1I_1'+R_1I_1+V_0cos(wt)=0\\
MI_1'+L_2I_2'+R_2I_2=0\\
\phi_1R_{c1}+R_{c2}(\phi_1-\phi_2)=N1I1\\
\phi_2R_{c3}+R_{c2}(\phi2-\phi1)+N1I1-N2I2=0\\$$
so the total flux through path 2 (φ2)- the total flux produced by the 2nd inductor (φ20)= φ12

$$L_2I_2=N2\phi2_0\\k=\frac{\phi_{12}}{\phi1_0} \hspace{10 mm}\phi_{12}=\phi_2-L_2\frac{I_2}{N2}\\
k=\frac{(N2\phi_2-L_2I_2)N1}{N2L_1I_1}$$

Is this enough equations to solve... or am I missing an equation? If so... what equation am I missing? I think there needs to be something relating I2 to I1 without the derivatives... ?

Tried to pay a tutor to answer but they said I don't have to pay because their answer might be wrong -_-
 
This man isn't serious, he got his answer, never tried to pay the tutor...

I tried to pay for an answer, meaning If I got an answer for the current I1, I2. But after like 48 hours I went through like 5 people and did not get the answer? I pretty much got my own work shown back to me with no current.
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
