Usually a coil of wire that may or may not be placed in a magnetic field It stores energy in the magnetic field and can be used to alter AC signals (e g , We used an inductor as a woofer coil )
A conductor, usually coiled, which tends to oppose any change in the flow of current through itself
An electrical component which opposes the flow of electric current An inductor has the property of impedance, the opposition to the flow of electric current Impedance changes value with the frequency of the applied electricity
a device possessing the ability to store energy in the form of a magnetic field; an inductor passes direct current, but blocks alternating current to a degree, depending on its frequency
A component providing inductance, typically an air or ferrite cored coil, but small values may also be provided using a Spiral track
A coil of wire, usually wound in a special core of high permeability, which provides high inductance without necessarily being of high resistance
A device designed primarily to introduce inductance into an electric circuit Sometimes called a choke or coil
- A coil of wire used to attenuate high frequencies; the key component of a passive low-pass filter
A ferro-magnetic assembly installed in line and/or load conductors of a drive to help control the effects of harmonics Often used in place of isolation transformer (Does not provide electrical isolation)
Length of conductor used to introduce inductance into a circuit The conductor is usually wound into a coil to concentrate the magnetic lines of force and maximize the inductance While any conductor has inductance, in common usage the term inductor usually refers to a coil
a circuit element consisting of a coil of wire would on a core material made of ferrous or non-ferrous material An inductor resists changes in the flow of electric current through it, because it generates a magnetic field that acts to oppose the flow of current through it, which means that the current cannot change instantaneously in the inductor This property makes inductors very useful for filtering out residual ripple in a power supply, or for use in signal shaping filters They are frequency-dependent devices, which means that their inductive reactance, or "effective resistance" to AC decreases as the frequency gets lower, and increases as the frequency gets higher This property makes them useful in tone controls and other filters
a circuit component that exhibits inductance and acts to resist change in current
A device that stores energy by creating a magnetic field, usually within a coil of wire
{i} circuit or device in which an electromotive force can be generated (Electricity)
An inductor is a coil of wire used in crossover filters that creates a frequency dependent impedance (lower at low frequencies and higher at high frequencies - the opposite of a what a capacitor creates)
All electrical currents create a magnetic field around their conductor In AC the field created in the first half of the cycle can oppose the flow of current (in the opposite direction) in the second half of the cycle This can be a problem when not wanted, but can be used in an inductor as a type of impedance in AC circuits
A device designed to introduce a specific inductance into a circuit Generally, a coil of wire wound around a core of air, iron, or other substance, such as in a motor or transformer
A length of wire or other conductor generally wound around a cylindrical tube or framework to form a coil
