Inductors Definition and 133 Threads

If all electric fields generated by electrostatic charges, then we know $$\oint_C {E \cdot d\ell} = 0$$ so in the following circuit, $$\oint_C {E \cdot d\ell} = -V+IR = 0$$ In cases where not all electric fields generated by electrostatic charges, then according Faraday's law, we know...

If we connect an inductor without ohmic resistance to the alternating voltage source, voltage should induce in the inductor because of the Faraday's law. Voltage is induced by changing magnetic flux through the inductor which is accomplished by alternating current through it. Therefore, in order...

We have there parallel inductors (i.e. having the same voltage) with the same inductance, having different currents at a particular time. It appears that this is only possible if the current phasors have different phases See bottom left of video below, ##I_1, I_2, I_3## (time already set to...

Hi all physics teachers I am looking for inductors in the range mH for usage with banana plugs for basic electronics physics labs (like resonance in RLC-circuits etc). I know I can build my own very simple, but if you know a place where I can buy those pre-made I would be very helpful :)

how does capacitors and inductors cause phase difference between current and voltage? how does complex number come into play to explain the relation between phase of current and voltage?

I am not sure where I made the mistake. If someone could point that out that would be much appreciated!

Summary:: Hi anyone can explain me how to solve this circuit, finding the current I2 and I1? Really don't know where to start Thanks

I did try redrawing the circuit at steady state , but I'm not really sure. I have attached the circuit that I tried drawing, I assumed the branch with the capacitors to be absent at steady state since current won't flow through them anyway. With this diagram I get the correct answer for Q 19 ...

Edit: Picture of the Circuit (Simple RL circuit) The value of L is not given. Attempt to Solve for T by Rearranging Equation 1: I rearranged the equation to solve for T, using Ohm's Law so solve for I = V/R at each time. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qlb2n6w4bg This graph is...

Placing an inductor in the first place in an ac circuit will start opposing the current but after a long time it behaves as it were never there and current flows constantly, problem is what happens to energy while opposing? Does it gets stored in the inductor? After when you open the circuit...

I apologize using English fluently because I am not an Enlgish speaker. When I tried to solve this problem, I used current divider rule. So, $$i_o(t) = \frac{3}{3+5}*4e^{-2t} = 1.5*e^{-2t} A$$ However, This was wrong. The answer is $$ 1.5*e^{-2t} + 0.5 A$$ If I use $$V_O = L*\frac{di}{dt}$$...

The standard assumption is that the current through an inductor must be continuous such that you don't produce an infinite back emf. However in this case, the current through ## L_1## is finite before opening the switch and the current through ## L_2 ## is zero before opening the switch. When...

This is more like a theoretical question of my own than actual homework. Say there is a circuit with a current source and an inductor. There is a current ##i(t)=at## going through the inductor. We now place a new circuit with an inductor and a resistor next to it. The current ##i(t)## causes a...

Hello, I would like to replicate the results from the paper "wireless power transfer via strongly coupled magnetic resonances", but I'm having trouble interpreting their equations. I'm creating a MATLAB script to do so. In the paper, they get to a point where L and C are to be calculated in a...

I am doing an experiment in electronics with AC RLC circuits, But there are a few things about what I need to do that I don't understand. First: While I know in the circuit diagram we include the internal resistance of the Inductor in series, but I don't know why we include it in series rather...

I understand Faraday's law and about induced electric fields created by a changing magnetic fields, etc. But what causes the current to oscillate in an LC circuit, with no battery? If you picture that there is current going into an inductor, and that current is decreasing over time, then you...

I have a bunch of questions on pattern shield for inductors in Integrated Circuits (ICs). Basically, shields are made using thick metals (less resistance) to reduce the coupling to the substrate (which are more lossy generally) in order to improve the Q factor. They are patterned to avoid eddy...

I've got a rather simple inquiry, but I haven't been able to get a straight answer via Google searches. When evaluating the impedance of an inductor, do eddy currents represent a series resistance through, or a parallel resistance around the ideal inductor? I've read that eddy currents are...

My last lecture that I have had, was in inductors. My professor said that they resist changes in current, because they store energy inside the inductor as a magnetic field. I know that as soon as you shut off the energy between the inductor, it starts to dissipate, slowly, until it is completely...

Hello, In my textbook, it says that if we have a pure inductor connected to an AC source, the average power is zero. It explains that this is because the energy is used to create a magnetic field for the inductor and then it is extracted to the AC source. So how is it possible for the...

I do not understand how to solve capacitors and inductors with impedance. I do not even know what it is that they use it to solve for. My understanding is that the define the source as a sinusoid using the complex exponential form, and that all voltages and amperage are now also complex...

I can't articulately ask the question so I drew a diagram. In the diagram, both capacitors are equal in capacitance. The bottom inductors are both 10000 nh and the top are 100 nh. A. Will the capacitors charge at the same time? B If we switch the large inductors to the top and the small to the...

To my understanding, capacitors cause the current to lead the voltage which adds VARS to the circuit and inductors cause the current to lag behind the voltage which removes VARS (in AC circuits). Also, it is my understanding that VARS increase voltage. I work for one of the largest utilities...

Homework Statement Find the current passing through the 5mH inductor in steady state. Homework Equations I=V/R The Attempt at a Solution Since it says steady current, so no change in current which implies that the inductors act as conductors so the current should just split equally So I...

I understand why slowing the current, causing a decrease in the flux, momentarily increases the current (stabilizing). I can use the right hand rule and Lenz's law to picture what is happening in that case. But why does increasing the current add resistance? The induced magnetic field is...

Background: When electricity travels through a wire it creates a magnetic field around the wire. Creating the magnetic field requires energy, which is stored in the magnetic field. So, if we have a length L of wire and wrap it in a small loop of say 100 turns, it becomes an air core inductor...

Physically, can someone explain why does not the voltage on the capacitor change immediatly? and why does not the current in the inductor also do? :smile:

I'm having a hard time visualizing what is happening in an inductor and why it is happening. I understand the graphs and practical application but I can't seem to physically understand what is happening as you pass current through the inductor besides the fact that it builds a magnetic field...

Hi all, A few basic questions regarding inductors really. I'm just doing a bit of reading into these little beauties and trying to get to grips with the workings. My questions are: 1.) Do inductors generate larger magnetic fields with DC or AC? (Providing the same current and voltage) 2.) If...

hello! are inductors so powerful that the magnetic field generated in their coils to be strong enough to resist the electron movement inside their wire? I find that hard to accept any hint? thanks!

hello! why capacitors and inductors affect the phase of both current and voltage of a AC circuit and resistors don't? let's say we have an AC circuit with resistors only, then there is no change in the voltage and current as imposed from the voltage/current source, right? but what happens...

Hyperthetically, say you had three inductors that each were ideal (90 deg lagging each) pf of zero. So there is a circuit with some current limited supply and you series these inductors up and excite the circuit. Is it going to look like a capacitor because the total angle is 270o like a...
