Inductor

An inductor (or reactor) is a passive electrical component that can store energy in a magnetic field created by the electric current passing...

Inductance (L) results from the magnetic field forming around a current-carrying conductor which tends to resist changes in the current. Ele...

An "ideal inductor" has inductance, but no resistance or capacitance, and does not dissipate or radiate energy. A real inductor ma...

Inductors are used extensively in analog circuits and signal processing. Inductors in conjunction with capacitors and other components form ...

An inductor is usually constructed as a coil of conducting material, typically copper wire, wrapped around a core either of air or of ferrom...

Air core coil The term air core coil describes an inductor that does not use a magnetic core made of a ferromagnetic material. The term re...

The effect of an inductor in a circuit is to oppose changes in current through it by developing a voltage across it proportional to the rate...
