Some of them are:
1. Inductor temporarily stores energy in form of magnetic field. It is given by E=½LI² here L is inductance & I is current.
2. Inductor causes current to lag voltage by 90°.
3. Inductor consumes reactive power.
4. Inductor oppose current change in circuit for AC only. Fo DC it act as simple wire.
5. Inductors are used for blocking the AC while passing the DC. They are known as chokes.
6. Inductors are used to create magnetic fields in electrical machines for the purpose of energy conversion.
An inductor looks like a piece of wire to DC. It will thus look like a resistor, and inductor properties do not apply.
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.
An inductor has two properties. The first is resistance(measured in ohms), which is due to the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the conductor from which it is wound. The second is inductance (measured in henrys), which is due to the length of the inductor, its cross-sectional area, the number of turns, and the permeability of its core.The inductor's resistance limits the value of current flowing through the inductor. The inductor's inductance opposes any change in current.
what is an inductor used for
Yes, an inductor is a short circuit to dc...that's true....IF the inductor is an ideal one, that is, the inductor has no resistance but has inductance only. Anything in real world, as you know, is not ideal. An inductor is usually made of a copper wire. A copper wire has its own resistance. If an inductor coil is thin and long (i.e. many turns), it will provide an appreciable resistance to DC, and will no longer be a short circuit.
the world may never know :-) LOLL YOU AINT KNOWING NOTHINNG BOIII
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.
any conductor wound with few turns can be considered as an inductor
To answer these questions I will tell you which devices or equipments are inductive.These include:TransformersHair clipers,hair blowers,motorsYou hopefully know what those devices or equipments are used for,hence why we use inductors.
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 .
