Discover how inductors store magnetic energy and oppose current changes, using inductance, self-induced and mutual EMF, Faraday's law, and how turns, area, length, and core material shape inductance.
Explore how an inductor's voltage and current relate via inductance, with v = L di/dt, and how flux linkage and Faraday's law, plus air or iron cores, affect inductance.
Derive the energy stored in an inductor and explain inductance, back emf, and the energy formula w = 1/2 L I^2, plus mutual coupling and the coupling coefficient.
Explore eight inductor types, from air-core and laminated iron to toroidal and multilayer ceramic inductors, and examine hysteresis and eddy current losses in magnetic cores.
Compare resistors, capacitors, and inductors, and understand current, voltage, and core parameters; learn energy storage formulas and how these components connect in series and parallel.
An inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. An inductor typically consists of an insulated wire wound into a coil around a core.
