Yes, an inductor works with direct current. It is called an electromagnet. Of course, a practical electromagnet has series resistance, otherwise the current in the inductor would increase to the limit of the current/voltage source.

How does an inductor work?

An inductor works by storing energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. This magnetic field resists changes in the current, which can be used to control and regulate the flow of electricity in a circuit.

How does an inductor work to store and release energy in an electrical circuit?

An inductor works by storing energy in the form of a magnetic field when current flows through it. When the current changes, the magnetic field also changes, inducing a voltage in the inductor. This stored energy can then be released back into the circuit when needed.


What component limits current in a circuit?

A resistor or an inductor. The inductor limits transient current, not steady state current.


Is there no induced voltage in an inductor unless the current is changing?

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.


What is the definition of an inductive reactance?

Opposition to the flow of AC current produced by an inductor. Measured in Ohms and varies in direct proportion to frequency.


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.


What is working principle of inductor?

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.

What is the purpose of a inductor?

The purpose of an inductor is to store and release energy in the circuit usually in order to induce a phase shift in the voltage or current passing through it. Inductor stores energy in the magnetic field.
