any conductor wound with few turns can be considered as an inductor
what is an inductor used for
Since we know that inductance of an inductor depends on the length of inductor by the formula L=muAN*N/l, where l is the length of inductor. So by varying the length of inductor we say that inductance of inductor varies.
In an ideal inductor, no, there is no voltage induced across an inductor unless the current in the inductor is changing. However, since there are no ideal inductors nor power supplies, eventually an inductor will draw a constant current, i.e. the limit of the power supply; and, since no inductor has zero ohms at equilibrium, that current will translate to voltage.
An inductor looks like a piece of wire to DC. It will thus look like a resistor, and inductor properties do not apply.
A changing current through an inductor induces a voltage into the inductor, the direction of which always opposes the change in that current.So, in a d.c. circuit, an inductor will oppose (not prevent) any rise or fall in current, although the magnitude of that current will be determined by the resistance of that inductor, not by its inductance.In an a.c. circuit, because the current is continuously changing both in magnitude and in direction, it acts to continuously oppose the current due to its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the inductor and the frequency of the supply. The vector sum of the inductive reactance of the inductor and the resistance of the inductor, is termed the impedance of the inductor. Inductive reactance, resistance, and impedance are each measured in ohms.
a coil. a component having the property of inductance.
In DC inductor is short circuited .
The fundamental purpose of an inductor is to store electrical energy in a magnetic field.
The inductor symbol resembles a coil of wire of 3 to 5 turns.
inductor was invented by scientist lenz so it is denoted by l..
inductor is used in ckt because it will work as controling current device
Inductor is a nonlinear device. since v=L di/dt.
