An inductor is a magnetic device that resists a change in current. It is constructed with windings that can be backed by ferro-magnetic cores. The equation of an inductor is ...

di/dt = V/L

... meaning that the rate of change of current per time is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to inductance.

Inductors, since they work on magnetic fields, can be coupled, as Transformers, motors, and generators.

A capacitor is a charge device that resists a change in voltage. It is constructed with parallel plates. The equation of a capacitor is ...

dv/dt = I/C

... meaning that the rate of change of voltage per time is proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance.

Inductors and capacitors, since they work in opposite phasor angles, can be coupled to make resonant filters, giving bandpass or bandcut to particular frequencies.

What is the advantage of capacitor filter over inductor filter?

An inductive filter is in fact an LC circuit in which an inductor is connected in series with the capacitor. This arrangement is also known as a low-pass filter. http://www.answers.com/topic/inductive-filter


What is the initial condition of the elements capacitor and inductor that have no initial energy stored?

The initial condition of a capacitor that has no energy stored is zero volts. The initial condition of an inductor that has no energy stored is zero amperes.


At what frequency is the reactance of a 0.450 inductor equal to that of a 2.50 capacitor?

What is impedance inversion?

A device "GYRATOR" which is used in ICs instead of inductor and capacitor due to small in size ,when we put capacitor in o/p output of gyrator then it gives inductor characterstics on i/p and vice-versa.This phenomenon is called impedence inversion.


What is the difference between an inductor and a capacitor?

Firstly the suffix '-ance' in each of those three words indicate the properties the material exhibits. Therefore resistance is the property by which any material tends to oppose the flow of current through it. Inductance is the property by which a material opposes the change in current, or opposes an alternating current. An inductor can be appreciated simply using a coil of insulated wire, or a solenoid. Capacitance is the property by which a material opposes the change in voltage across its ends, ie how it opposes alternating voltage. A capacitor comprises of, essentially, two metallic plates separated by a dielectric (a medium which may/may not be non-conducting, but is capable to contain charge). cheers!!

Where is energy stored in a capacitor and in inductor?

Energy is stored in a capacitor in the electric field between its plates. In an inductor, energy is stored in the magnetic field around the coil.


What happens if you put a inductor instead of the capacitor at the capacitor start motor?

An inductor can be used, in principle, but it has to be the right inductance, it will waste more power than a capacitor, and the motor would rotate the opposite way.


Why inductor use in series capacitor in parallel?

That depends on the type of circuit you are talking about. Sometimes both an inductor and capacitor are both in parallel with each other. This is called a tank circuit. Sometimes they are both used in series. These are both examples of resonant circuits. Sometimes the inductor can be in parallel with an applied voltage and the capacitor in series. This is a form of high pass filter. On the other hand, the inductor can be in series and the capacitor in parallel to for a low pass filter.
