An inductor is a passive component that is used in most power electronic circuits to store energy in the form of magnetic energy when electricity is applied to it. One of the key properties of an inductor is that it impedes or opposes any change in the amount of current flowing through it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Inductor stores energy in the form of magnetic energy. Coils can store electrical energy in a form of magnetic energy using the property that an electric current flowing through a coil produces a magnetic field, which in turn produces an electric current. In other words, coils offer a means of storing energy on the basis of inductivity<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Henry: The henry (symbol: H) is the SI derived unit of electrical inductance. If a current of 1 ampere flowing through a coil produces flux linkage of 1 weber turn, that coil has a self inductance of 1 henry.\u200c The unit is named after Joseph Henry (1797\u20131878), the American scientist who discovered electromagnetic induction independently of and at about the same time as Michael Faraday (1791\u20131867) in England.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Inductor: also called a coil, choke, or reactor, is a passive<\/a> two-terminal electrical component<\/a> that stores energy in a magnetic field<\/a> when electric current<\/a> flows through it.[1]<\/a><\/sup> An inductor typically consists of an insulated wire wound into a coil<\/a>.<\/p>

When the current flowing through the coil changes, the time-varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force<\/a> (e.m.f.<\/i>) (voltage<\/a>) in the conductor, described by Faraday’s law of induction<\/a>. According to Lenz’s law<\/a>, the induced voltage has a polarity (direction) which opposes the change in current that created it. As a result, inductors oppose any changes in current through them.<\/p>

An inductor is characterized by its inductance<\/a>, which is the ratio of the voltage to the rate of change of current. In the International System of Units<\/a> (SI), the unit of inductance is the henry<\/a> (H) named for 19th century American scientist Joseph Henry<\/a>. In the measurement of magnetic circuits, it is equivalent to weber<\/a>\/ampere<\/a>. Inductors have values that typically range from 1\u00a0<\/span>\u00b5H (10\u22126<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>H) to 20\u00a0<\/span>H. Many inductors have a magnetic core<\/a> made of iron or ferrite<\/a> inside the coil, which serves to increase the magnetic field and thus the inductance. Along with capacitors<\/a> and resistors<\/a>, inductors are one of the three passive linear<\/a> circuit elements<\/a> that make up electronic circuits. Inductors are widely used in alternating current<\/a> (AC) electronic equipment, particularly in radio<\/a> equipment. They are used to block AC while allowing DC to pass; inductors designed for this purpose are called chokes<\/a>. They are also used in electronic filters<\/a> to separate signals of different frequencies<\/a>, and in combination with capacitors to make tuned circuits<\/a>, used to tune radio and TV receivers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
