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.


Why alternating current induce voltage across an inductor?

due to change in flux


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.


What happens when current flows through inductor?

When current flows through an inductor, a magnetic field is created. That's the simple explanation. More formally, an inductor is a magnetic device that reactively resists a change in current by presenting a voltage backwards towards the source. The equation for an inductor is ... di/dt = v/L ... which means the the rate of change in current in amperes per second is proportional to voltage in volts and inversely proportional to inductance in henrys. Theoretically, this means that, if you place a constant voltage across an inductor, current will linearly increase without bounds to infinity. Practically, this will be limited by resistance and current capacity.


What is the maximum inductor voltage when the inductor current is decreasing?

depending on the stray capacitance it can be from a few ten volts to a few kilo volts.

How will be the outputs across the inductor and resistor if you keep the frequency of the input signal very low?

For a low frequency source, the voltage across the inductor tends to zero because its impedance is proportionnal to source frequency, whereas the voltage across the resistor tends to the voltage source value.

Does inductor allow ac to pass through it?

Yes, with some difficulty. You can think of an inductor as a kind of "AC resistor"in a way. The higher the frequency of the AC, the more difficulty it has passingthrough the inductor.If you apply AC voltage across an inductor, whereV = voltage of the ACf = frequency of the ACL = inductance of the inductor,then the AC current through the inductor isI = V/2 pi f L

Why cant you use the voltage across the inductor and the voltage across the lamp to find the supply voltage in a fluorescent fitting?

Because the two voltages are out of phase, that means that individually they peak at different times in the AC cycle, so in general if they are measured separately their sum will exceed the supply voltage, possibly by up to 41%.

What is the bahaviorS of the INDUCTOR in ac supply?

Because of Ac supply, current lags voltage by 90 in Inductor.


How an electrical choke generat high energy?

A choke or inductor does not generate energy by itself but it can generate high voltages. The voltage across an inductor is equal to the inductance in Henrys times the rate of change of current in amps per second. So if an inductor is wired in series with a battery, then when one of the wires is disconnected the current dops quickly generating a high voltage which causes a spark. This principle is used to generate the high voltage for a spark plug in a car engine.


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 there's high voltage at series rlc resonant frequency?

With a series RLC circuit the same current goes through all three components. The reactance of the capacitor and inductor are equal and opposite at the resonant frequency, so they cancel out and the supply voltage appears across the resistor. This means that the current is at its maximum, but that current, flowing through the inductor and the capacitor, produces a voltage across each that is equal to the current times the reactance. The voltage magnification is the 'Q factor', equal to the reactance divided by the resistance.
