Yes, with some difficulty. You can think of an inductor as a kind of "AC resistor"

in a way. The higher the frequency of the AC, the more difficulty it has passing

through the inductor.

If you apply AC voltage across an inductor, where

V = voltage of the AC

f = frequency of the AC

L = inductance of the inductor,

then the AC current through the inductor is

I = V/2 pi f L

Does a Cpacitor allow ac to pass through it?

no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .


If an inductor and a switch are connected in parallel through which the current will flow in an AC circuit?

A:The inductor does not allow ac signal to pass through. It blocks ac and passes dc. If the switch is open, then the ac signal wont pass. If the switch is closed, then the ac signal will pass through the switch.AnswerIt is incorrect to say that an inductor 'does not allow' the passage of an alternating current. An a.c. current will pass through an inductor, although the inductor will limit the value of that current due to the inductor's inductive reactance. Inductive reactance, which is expressed in ohms, is directly-proportional to the inductance of the inductor and to the frequency of the supply. The value of the current is determined by dividing the supply voltage by the inductive reactance of the inductor.If the switch is connected in parallel with the inductor, then closing the switch will apply a direct short circuit across the inductor, and the resulting short-circuit current will cause the circuit's protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) to operate.


Can you charge inductor with dc voltage or ac voltage?

Inductors are low pass devices, they conduct most easily at low frequencies. DC is the limiting case for low frequency AC: i.e. DC is the lowest possible AC frequency, zero Hz and thus conducts best through an inductor. Capacitors are high pass devices, they conduct most easily at high frequencies. Infinite frequency AC is the limiting case for high frequency AC. Infinity Hz would conduct best through a capacitor.


What will happen if you pass ac current passes through a inductor?

magnetic flux will be induced its use to rotate the shaft or given some force


Why you using DC power supply for capacitor?

Because it does not allow ac to pass through it...


Why inductor block ac and pass dc?

When your circuit starts up, your inductor creates an electrical current in the opposite direction. With dc, this effect vanished after the circuit is started. With ac, the current keeps starting and stopping so the inductor keeps creating a current in the opposite direction.


What is the bahaviorS of the INDUCTOR in ac supply?

Because of Ac supply, current lags voltage by 90 in Inductor.


Can we use a DC source with an inductor?

Yes, an inductor allows DC to pass through it. An inductor resists a change in current, proportional to inductance and voltage. At equilibirum, an ideal inductor has zero impedance. The differential equation for an inductor is di/dt = v / l


Why does an inductor block AC but allow DC?

While it is true that an inductor opposes the flow of an alternating current, it does not necessarily 'block it'. The quantity that opposes the flow of an AC current is the inductor's inductive reactance, expressed in ohms. Inductive reactance is proportional to the frequency of the supply voltage and, at 50 or 60 Hz, the reactance of a transformer's winding is relatively low (although very much higher than its resistance) and, while this acts to limit the amount of current flow, it certainly doesn't act to block that flow.


What type of inductor is installed in a circuit to impede the flow of ac of a frequency?

A: The inductor is called a RF choke


What is the difference between coil inductor solenoid?

Physicall no difference.But inductor uses ac and solinoid uses dc.


When an inductor and resistor are connected in parallel by how many degrees is the current flow through the resistor out of phase with the current flow through the inductor?

When a resistor and an inductor are both connected to an AC supply, the current in the resistor is in phase with the voltage, while the current in the inductor is a quarter-cycle (90 degrees) behind. Supposing they both draw 1 amp on a 12-volt AC supply. The resistor will dissipate 12 watts, while the inductor will dissipate no power. Any power that enters the inductor comes back to the generator in a later part of the cycle. But the current drawn from the supply is 1.414 amps, so this would be a load with a power factor of 0.707.
