Electromagnetic induction refers to the process in which the electromotive force (emf) and current are induced as a result of changing magnetic flux.
Inductance refers to an electrical conductor’s capacity to oppose a change in current that passes through it
In a circuit, the component responsible for this process is called an inductor. It is usually represented by the symbol...
Mutual inductance is the term for placing two circuits near each other such that the change in electric current in the first will result in a drop or loss of voltage in the second
The symbol for inductance is the capital letter L, in honor of the Russian physicist Emil Lenz, who formulated Lenz’s Law.
Its SI unit is the henry (H), named so after the American scientist Joseph Henry, who discovered the phenomenon of inductance while conducting experiments on electromagnetism.
In a DC circuit, electric current flows in directly in one direction
In an AC circuit, current switches directions, at times alternating forward and backward and reversing its direction across the circuit
In a closed circuit, inductors store electrical energy in the form of magnetic energy, or the energy present in a magnetic field.
●A capacitor enables the storage of energy in the form of an electric field.
Capacitors and inductors complement each other, such that a circuit that consists of both inductive and capacitive components is called a tuned circuit
The movement of current in an LC circuit is referred to as electrical oscillation, the process of which resembles the mechanical oscillation observable in a vibrating spring-mass system, as shown below:
The Conservation of Energy will tell us that the system’s total energy will remain the same
In a DC circuit, inductance and resistance are directly proportional
●The voltage remains constant. These relationships are visualized in the graph.
In an AC circuit, the frequency refers to the number of cycles or the rate of the current change per second. It is measured in hertz (Hz).
●The measure of this opposition or resistance in an AC circuit is also known as electrical impedance.
Inductance refers to an electrical conductor’s capacity to oppose a change in current that passes through it
In a circuit, the component responsible for this process is called an inductor and is commonly a coil, a wire helix, or a solenoid
Mutual inductance is the term for the juxtaposition of two circuits such that the change in electric current in the first will result in a drop or loss of voltage in the second.
●The symbol for inductance is the capital letter L. Its SI unit is the henry (H), which is equivalent to one kilogram meter squared per second squared per ampere squared.
In a DC circuit, electric current flows only in one direction
AC circuit, at times alternating forward and backward and reversing its direction across the circuit.
In an LC circuit, an inductor stores energy in the magnetic field based on the electric current that flows through it.
Conversely, a capacitor stores energy in the electric field generated between its conducting plates based on the potential difference across this separation distance
●The electrical oscillation of stored energy in an LC circuit resembles a oscillating mass-spring system.
The opposition reaction of the inductor to the current in a DC circuit is exponential. An alternating-current (AC) circuit is similar to the DC circuit, except that it changes its polarity over time
