What is the mathematical relationship between primary and secondary windings?
It can be either in the s-domain, or a time domain expression.
This expression must contain all realistic parameters, like core losses, hysteresis losses, winding inductances, mutual inductance between windings, effect of frequency, etc.
How do I obtain an inductor from the given transformer in the image? ... So that the inductance of the resulting inductor must be maximum.
Connect the undotted end of one winding to the dotted end of the other.
eg P2 to S1 (or P1 to S2) and use the pair as if they were a single winding.
(As per example in diagram below)
Using just one winding does NOT produce the required maximum inductance result.
The resulting inductance is greater than the sum of the two individual inductances.
Call the resultant inductance Lt,
Note that IF the windings were NOT magnetically linked (eg were on two separate cores) then the two inductances simply add and Lsepsum = Ls + Lp.
What will be the frequency behavior of the resulting inductor? Will it have a good performance at frequencies other than the original transformer was rated to run in.
"Frequency behavior" of the final inductor is not a meaningful term without further explanation of what is meant by the question and depends on how the inductor is to be used.
Note that "frequency behavior" is a good term as it can mean more than the normal term "frequency response" in this case.
For example, applying mains voltage to a primary and secondary in series, where the primary is rated for mains voltage use in normal operation will have various implications depending on how the inductor is to be used.Impedance is higher so magnetising current is lower so core is less heavily saturated. Implications then depend on application - so interesting. Will need discussing.
Connecting the two windings together so that their magnetic fields support each other will give you the maximum inductance.
When this is done
the field from current in winding P will now also affect winding S
and the field in winding S will now also affect winding P
so the resultant inductance will be greater than the linear sum of the two inductances.
The requirement to get the inductances to add where there 2 or more windings is that the current flows into (or out of) all dotted winding ends at the same time.
Because:
Where windings are mutually coupled on the same magnetic core so that all turns in either winding are linked by the same magnetic flux then when the windings are connected together they act like a single winding whose number of turns = the sum of the turns in the two windings.
ie \$ N_{total} = N_t = N_p + N_s \dots (2) \$
Now:
L is proportional to turns^2 = \$ N^2 \$
So for constant of proportionality k,
\$ L = k.N^2 \dots (3) \$
So \$ N = \sqrt{\frac{L}{k}} \dots (4) \$
k can be set to 1 for this purpose as we have no exact values for L.
So
From (2) above: \$ N_{total} = N_t = (N_p + N_s) \$
But : \$ N_p = \sqrt{k.L_p} = \sqrt{Lp} \dots (5) \$
And : \$ N_s = \sqrt{k.L_s} = \sqrt{L_s} \dots (6) \$
But \$ L_t = (k.N_p + k.N_s)^2 = (N_p + N_s)^2 \dots (7) \$
So
\$ \mathbf{L_t = (\sqrt{L_p} + \sqrt{L_s})^2} \dots (8) \$
Which expands to: \$ L_t = L_p + L_s + 2 \times \sqrt{L_p} \times \sqrt{L_s} \$
In words:
The inductance of the two windings in series is the square of the sum of the square roots of their individual inductances.
Lm is not relevant to this calculation as a separate value - it is part of the above workings and is the effective gain from crosslinking the two magnetic fields.
[[Unlike Ghost Busters - In this case you are allowed to cross the beams.]].
The fluxes created by the primary and the secondary windings are not equal; your equotion \$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{N_1}{N_2}\$ is just an approximation.
If you connect a transformer to the mains, but not to the load, the current flowing through the primary winding will create some flux in the core. It's determined by mains voltage, frequency and primary winding inductance. If you connect a load to the transformer, the primary current will increase in a way to keep the core flux close to what it was without load.
An 'ideal' transformer has its primary inductance rising up to infinity, so the unloaded (magnetizing) primary current drops down to zero. But infinite inductance multiplied by infinitely small current results in some definite flux in the core.

I have never seen any formula as the non-linear behavior as a function of freq. depends on stray and winding capacitance, ferrite non-linear properties and many other factors.
