A circuit contains two inductors of 6.0-mH inductance in parallel placed in series with an inductor of 8.0-mH inductance. After one of the 6.0-mH inductors burns out, the repairman wants to replace all three inductors with one inductor of equivalent inductance. Assuming inductors combine in series and parallel the same way resistors do, what inductance should he use?
A. 3.0 mH B. 3.4 mH C. 4.8 mH D. 11 mH E. 20 mH
