Inductors: Briefly Explained.

 

Introduction to Inductor:

            An inductor also called a coil or reactor is a passive two-terminal electrical component which resists the changes in electrical current, passing through it.

An inductor is characterized by its inductance.

 

Structure:

            It consists of a conductor such as a wire usually wound into a coil. When the current flowing through an inductor changes the time, the varying magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor.

Uses:

The ratio of the voltage to the rate of the change of current, which has units of Henry's many inductors have a magnetic core made of iron or ferrite inside the coil which serves to increase the magnetic field and thus, the inductance inductors are widely used in easy electronic equipment particularly in radio equipment.

 

This was a quick introduction to Inductors. We will go into detail in the Future.

Stay tuned.
