An inductor resists a change in current. The equation is ...
di/dt = V/L
... where di/dt is the rate of change of current in amperes per second, V is the EMF is volts, and L is the inductance in henrys.
Looking at this, you can see that the slope of the current is proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the inductance.
One characteristic of inductors is that when you have a current established, and then break the circuit, the inductor will respond by trying to maintain the current. If this is not possible, such as when the circuit is open, the inductor will generate a large reverse EMF - in the theoretical case, an infinite EMF - in the practical case, several thousand volts, depending on the inductor. This is why proper design of inductors in DC circuits, such as relays and solenoids, must include reverse EMF suppression, such as a diode or resistor across the inductor.

How do you increase the inductance in a inductor?
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.
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 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.
In which place an inductor store energy in it?
Because inductor forms a coil with magnetic field around it. It acts as a relay also. Tasleem
What component limits current in a circuit?
A resistor or an inductor. The inductor limits transient current, not steady state current.
What is the current limiting property in an iductor called?
The property that limits the current flow in an inductor is called inductive reactance. Inductive reactance increases with frequency, causing the inductor to resist changes in current flow. This property is a crucial part of inductor behavior in AC circuits.

What is the significance of the current in an LC circuit and how does it affect the overall behavior of the circuit?
The current in an LC circuit is significant because it creates oscillations between the inductor and capacitor, leading to the circuit's resonant frequency. This current affects the overall behavior by determining the rate at which energy is exchanged between the inductor and capacitor, influencing the amplitude and frequency of the oscillations in the circuit.

How do you construct an inductor?
any conductor wound with few turns can be considered as an inductor
What happens when a inductor reaches a steady state?
An inductor looks like a piece of wire to DC. It will thus look like a resistor, and inductor properties do not apply.

What is the purpose of inductor?
The fundamental purpose of an inductor is to store electrical energy in a magnetic field.
When inductor is called short circuit and open circuit?
In DC inductor is short circuited .
Why l is symbol for inductor?
inductor was invented by scientist lenz so it is denoted by l..
What is the symbol for an inductor?
The inductor symbol resembles a coil of wire of 3 to 5 turns.
