An inductor is an electrical component, usually a coil, designed to offer a specific value of inductance (measured in henrys). As the operating current of an inductor affects its inductance its inductance value (inductors are not linear devices, due to their hysteresis characteristics) is normally expressed for a specific range of operating currents.

Why a inductor is used in series before diode instead of resistor?
An inductor will supply better current source.
What happens when dc supply is given to inductor?
The resulting maximum current is limited by the resistance of the inductor. As the current increases from zero to that maximum value, its expanding magnetic field induces a voltage into the inductor which opposes the rise in that current. So, instead of reaching its maximum value instantaneously, it takes some time -determined by the equation:time to maximum current = 5 L / R (seconds)where L = inductance of inductor in henrys, and R = resistance of inductor in ohms.
How does current flows when inductor n capacitor r in series?
The stronger the magnetic field on your inductor the greater amount of current you will have flowing through your series circuit.
Does a transformer draw a lot of current when first connected to a source?
Yes it does as it is an Inductor and an Inductor needs to build up a magnetic field. It is called INRUSH current.
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 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.
Inductor works in direct current?
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.
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.
An inductor opposes a change in?
Current.
Why voltage leads current in a inductor?
Eli the ice man. Voltage (E) before Current (I) in a coil (inductor)(L) Current (I) before Voltage (E) in a Cap. (C) Got it?
Why inductor are used in CKT?
inductor is used in ckt because it will work as controling current device
What is the relationship of current through the resistor and inductor in the LR parallel circuit?
When they are in parallel the same voltage appear across both. The resistor carries a current of V/R, the inductor carries a current of V/(jwL). So the current in the inductor is 90 degrees behind in its phase.
Suppose no energy given to inductor and a decreasing current is applied to it. emf will be produced and energy is given by it.so i think energy is not stored in inductor. it is its own property?
How do you propose to connect a decreasing current to the inductor ? The initial current through the inductor is zero, and you want to connect it to a current which is not zero and decreasing. At the instant you make the connection, the inductor current is zero, and it must rise to the non-zero value where you want it to begin decreasing. The current in the inductor cannot change from zero to something in zero time. As it rises from zero to the initial value, guess what . . . the inductor is storing energy in its magnetic field, while producing the usual voltage equal to [ L di/dt ].
What is trapped energy of inductor?
An inductor resists a change in current. It does this by converting the current into a magnetic field. If the current then changes, the collapsing or increasing magnetic field will buck the attempted change through electromagnetic energy conversion.
What is the bahaviorS of the INDUCTOR in ac supply?
Because of Ac supply, current lags voltage by 90 in Inductor.
Why a inductor is used in series before diode instead of resistor?
An inductor will supply better current source.
