Atoms or ions with unpaired electrons are attracted to a magnetic field; the more unpaired electrons, the greater is the attraction. Such substances are called paramagnetic. Molecular oxygen is a paramagnetic gas by virtue of its two unpaired electrons.
Phosphorus (P) has 15 electron i.e 2,8,5. Hence the number of electron in its outermost orbit is 5. Silicon (Si) has 14 electron i.e 2,8,4. Hence the number of electrons in its outermost orbit is 4.
The combined inductance of two coils connected in series L = L1 + L2 + 2M In series adding case L1 + L2 + 2M = 0.6 H ——–(1) In series opposing case L1 + L2 − 2M = 0.1 H ——–(2) Subtracting eqn (2) from eqn (1) we get 4M = 0.5 H M = 0.125 H Let L1 = 0.2 H (since the coil when isolated, its self-inductance is 0.2 H) Putting the value of M & L1 in equation (2) 0.2 + L2 + 2 ×0.125 = 0.06 0.2 + L2 = 0.35 L2 = 0.15 H
