Because inductance is only related to alternating current. Direct current doesn't induce eletrical current on a secondary coil placed on a primary coil, because there is no frequency generated by direct current, and all you get is a single electrical current flowing through the wire without interfering with a coil placed near to the primary coil. What makes all the difference is the cycles per second that only alternating current can generate.

What is the function of an inductors which is installed at output of 1.5V power supply?

An inductor resists a change in current, so it can be installed in a power supply lead to reduce the effects of changing input voltage, such as what happens in a rectifier when the diode starts conducting again. Often, inductors and capacitors are used together to build a filter.


Why there are only RC filters and not RLC filters used with IC.why inductor is not used?

The inductor is a component which produces inductance. This inductance which opposes any change of current through it, so if any changes occurred in an IC the output will be changed. so inductor is not used.


Why inductor are used in CKT?

May I know the properties of an inductor?

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.


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.


Can any power supply be used on a Pentium 4 processor?

Yes, almost every PSU has enough power to supply a P4 CPU. It depends on the total load, not only on the CPU.


Is ATX power supply can be used in place of AT power supply?

No because they have different connectors.


Why you use capacitors in power supply?

You use a capacitor to store electrostatic energy. You use an inductor to store electromagnetic energy. You use a resistor to dissipate electrical energy.


Where should ac or DC supply be used?

The type of power supply being used (AC or DC) should match the power requirements of the device it will be supplying power to.
