### Understanding Equivalent Inductance in Series Circuits

#### Problem Statement

Consider the circuit below with \( i(t) = 80 \cos(50t) \, \text{mA} \) for \( t > 0 \) and \( i(t) = 0 \) for \( t < 0 \). Given the inductances \( L_1 = 60 \, \text{mH} \), \( L_2 = 20 \, \text{mH} \), and \( L_3 = 10 \, \text{mH} \):

**Question 5:**

What is the equivalent inductance? (Be sure to enter an answer here and show your calculations in detail on your paper for submission.)

#### Circuit Explanation

The circuit diagram consists of three inductors \( L_1 \), \( L_2 \), and \( L_3 \) connected in series with a current source \( i(t) \). When inductors are connected in series, the total or equivalent inductance \( L_{eq} \) is the sum of the individual inductances.

---

### Detailed Solution

When inductors are connected in series, the equivalent inductance \( L_{eq} \) is calculated using the formula:

\[ L_{eq} = L_1 + L_2 + L_3 \]

Given:
- \( L_1 = 60 \, \text{mH} \)
- \( L_2 = 20 \, \text{mH} \)
- \( L_3 = 10 \, \text{mH} \)

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ L_{eq} = 60 \, \text{mH} + 20 \, \text{mH} + 10 \, \text{mH} \]
\[ L_{eq} = 90 \, \text{mH} \]

Thus, the equivalent inductance \( L_{eq} \) of the circuit is \( 90 \, \text{mH} \).
