equivalent inductance



I have a basic doubt in understanding the concept of equivalent inductance. When two inductor coils are in series the equivalent inductance is calculated as


\$ L_{eq} = L1+L2 \pm 2M \$ (depending on the dot convention)


where L1 and L2 are independent coil self inductance and M is the mutual inductance dependent on coupling between the coils k (coupling coefficient). M is calculated as


\$M = k \sqrt{L1. L2} \$


k can take values from 0 to 1, 0 for no coupling and 1 for perfect coupling between the coils.


So if two coils are placed adjacent to each other very far where there is no coupling between the coils then k = 0 and \$ L_{eq} = L1+L2 \$ because M = 0. If the coils are so far that L2 has no impact on L1 should we still consider L2 for calculating \$L_{eq} \$ ?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
