PASSIVE ELEMENT - INDUCTANCE



INDUCTANCE: An inductance is the element in which energy stored in the form of electro magnetic field. The inductance is denoted by 'L' and it is measured in "Henrie's(H).

    A passive component designed to resist changes in current.

·         Inductors are often referred to as "AC resistors". The ability to resist changes in current and store energy in its magnetic field account for the bulk of the useful properties of inductors. current passing through an inductor will produce a magnetic field. A changing magnetic field induces a voltage which opposes the field-producing current. This property of impending changes of current is known as inductance.


·         For an inductance the voltage across it is proportional to the rate of change of current passing through it.
V(t) á½±  (di(t)/dt )
V(t)=L*di(t)/dt
where L= Inductance and is proportionality constant 
·         The power in the inductor is given by
P(t)=V(t)*i(t)- watts
·         The energy stored in the inductor in the form of electro magnetic field.
W=(1/2)Li^2(t)- Joules
