Inductor

0 comments
 Like capacitors, inductors also store energy in one part of AC cycle and return it during the next part of the cycle.

Inductance is that property of a device that reacts against a change in current through the device. Inductors are components designed for use in circuits to resist changes in current and thus serve important control functions.


Inductor designed is based on the principle that a varying magnetic field induces a voltage in any conductor in that field. Thus, a practical inductor may simply be a coil wire. The current in each loop of the coil produces a magnetic field that passes through neighboring loops. If the current through the coil is constant the magnetic field is constant and no action takes place. A change in the current, however,produces a change in the magnetic field. The energy absorbed or released from the changing magnetic field reacts against the change in current, and this is exhibited as in induced voltage (electromotive force, emf), which is counter to the change in applied voltage. The inductor thus behaves as an impedance to ac current.
