First Claim
1. An inductor system comprising:
- a first inductor including a first magnetic core and a first coil wound around the first magnetic core; and
a second inductor including a second magnetic core and a second coil wound around the second magnetic core;
wherein;
the first inductor and the second inductor are positioned so that a first angle between a first line and a fifth line is equal to or greater than 0 degrees and is equal to or less than 90 degrees,the first line is in a same direction as a first magnetic flux generated by the first coil and passes through a center of the first coil in a width direction,a second line is perpendicular to the first magnetic flux and passes through the center of the first coil in a length direction,a first point is an intersection of the first line and the second line,a third line is in a same direction as a second magnetic flux generated by the second coil and passes through a center of the second coil in the width direction,a fourth line is perpendicular to the second magnetic flux and passes through the center of the second coil in the length direction,a second point is an intersection of the third line and the fourth line,the fifth line is a line which connects the first point and the second point, anda cross section of the first coil in the width direction and a cross section of the second coil in the width direction overlap in at least a direction of the first magnetic flux or a direction of the second magnetic flux.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an inductor unit includes a first inductor and a second inductor. The first inductor includes a first magnetic core and a first coil winded around the first magnetic core. The second inductor includes a second magnetic core and a second coil winded around the second magnetic core. The first inductor and the second inductor are placed so that a first angle between a first line and a fifth line is equal to or greater than 0 degrees and is equal to or less than 90 degrees. The cross section of the first coil in the width direction and a cross section of the first coil in the width direction are overlapping at least at direction of the first magnetic flux or direction of the second magnetic flux.
