An inductor, also known as a reactor or coil, is considered as a two-terminal passive electrical component used to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. In its most basic form, it is simply a ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

One of the fundamental components of electrical circuits is the inductor, which provides inductance (opposition to changes in electric current). Conventional inductors consist of a coil of wire ...

As Lenz’s Law states, an inductor in a circuit opposes the flow of current through it because the flow induces an electromotive force (emf) that opposes it. In order to keep the current flowing ...

Have you ever had difficulty explaining the theory of inductance and its impact on an electrical circuit to a coworker or apprentice? A theoretical topic such as this is hard to comprehend but ...

Inductors are a basic component of modern electrical circuits, and they are used in a wide range of applications including information processing, wireless circuits and chargers for mobile devices.

Back to the basics: there are three kinds of passive electronic components: Inductors, Capacitors and Resistors. An inductor can be easily built and many types of core and bobbin kits are available.

Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...

US researchers have made on-chip inductors smaller by adding ‘kinetic inductance’ to conventional magnetic inductance. The work cuts the size of 10-50GHz inductors by a third. Kinetic inductance ...
