Inductors
Inductors store and release magnetic energy. They are used for applications such as filtering, energy storage, and impedance matching.
- All inductors are coiled structures and insulated wire wrapped around the area.
- Inductors work on electromagnetic induction.
- It is used to decrease the electric spikes in electronic circuits.
Inductor Current equation with respect to time:
V(t) = [Tex] V(t) = L\frac{di(t)}{dt} [/Tex]
- V(t) stand for voltage across the inductor with respect to time t
- L stands for inductance
- i(t) stand for current through the inductor with respect to time t
Advantages of Inductor
- It stores electrical energy in it.
- It is used in transformers.
- It is used to stabilize voltage in circuit.
Disadvantages of Inductor
- It can be heavy.
- It causes voltage spikes when current in the circuit changes.
Applications of Inductors
There are many applications of linear components like inductors which include:
- It is used in minimizing alternating current in the circuits.
- It is used in RF choke in the oscillator.
- It is used in LC resonance.
- It is used in Radio Transmitter and receiver.
V-I Characteristics of Inductor
- V-I Characteristics of a inductor can be explained by the relation between the applied voltages and the current flowing through it
- The amount of voltage that will be produced in an inductor depends on how rapidly the current through it will decrease. The induced voltage will be opposed to the change in current as described by Lenz’s Law. The voltage polarity will be oriented to keep the current at its former magnitude with a decreasing current. As shown in the image below, the amount of induced voltage produced by the inductor depends upon the rate of current change
Linear Components – Electrical Circuits
In electrical circuits, some electronic devices follow a linear relationship between input and output, called Linear Components. These components follow the law of superposition principle and homogeneity. In this article, we will learn about the role of Linear components in Electrical Circuits, their properties, types, working, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of Linear components.
