Question
In the circuit of Fig. 7_1, what is \( L_{\text{eq}} \)?

**Diagram Description:**

- The circuit includes several inductors:
  - A 2H inductor in series with two 4H inductors in a parallel configuration.
  - Another 4H inductor follows in series from point a to point b.
  - From this point, a separate section has a 10H inductor connected in parallel with an 8H and a 2H inductor.

**Options for \( L_{\text{eq}} \) Calculation:**

- \( L_{\text{eq}} = 7 \, \text{H} \)
- \( L_{\text{eq}} = 17 \, \text{H} \)
- \( L_{\text{eq}} = 5 \, \text{H} \)
- \( L_{\text{eq}} = 15 \, \text{H} \)
- \( L_{\text{eq}} = 20 \, \text{H} \)
- \( L_{\text{eq}} = 32 \, \text{H} \)

**Understanding the Diagram:**

- Inductors in series are added directly.
- Inductors in parallel follow the reciprocal rule for calculating the equivalent inductance:
  \[
  \frac{1}{L_{\text{eq}}} = \frac{1}{L_1} + \frac{1}{L_2} + \frac{1}{L_3} + \ldots
  \]
