Inductor symbol error

[edit]

In the diagram, the arcs that form the symbols of the inductors are the wrong way round. The convex sides of the arcs should face each other.

Where a single inductor with a core is depicted, the arcs face the core depicted by parallel lines.

I was brought up on BS3939, superseded many years ago by EN60617-4 and the BS version of it.

see: EN60617-4:1996 Graphical symbols for diagrams. Basic passive components (ISBN 058026745 8). There are numerous engineering publications that use those symbols, mostly correctly(!). GilesW (talk) 10:05, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revised title

[edit]

Whould the title 'Coupled inductors' be more technically correct than 'Mutually inducting inductors'?
