Describing Function and Application: Inductance

A capacitor stores energy in an electric field, while an inductor stores energy in a magnetic field. Both are passive circuit elements that resist changes in electric current. However, capacitors oppose changes in voltage while inductors oppose changes in current. Specifically, when current flows through an inductor's coil, it creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage opposing further changes in the current according to Faraday's law of induction.

An inductor, also called a coil or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component which resists changes in electric current passing through it. It consists of a conductor such as a wire, usually wound into a coil. When a current flows through it, energy is stored temporarily in a magnetic fieldin the coil. When the current flowing through an inductor changes, the time-varying magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor, according toFaradays law of electromagnetic induction, which opposes the change in current that created it. An inductor is characterized by its inductance, the ratio of the voltage to the rate of change of current, which has units of henries (H). Many inductors have a magnetic core made of iron or ferrite inside the coil, which serves to increase the magnetic field and thus the inductance. Along with capacitorsand resistors, inductors are one of the three passive linear circuit elements that make up electric circuits. Inductors are widely used in alternating current (AC) electronic equipment, particularly in radio equipment. They are used to block the flow of AC current while allowing DC to pass; inductors designed for this purpose are called chokes. They are also used in electronic filters to separate signals of different frequencies, and in combination with capacitors to make tuned circuits, used to tune radio and TV receivers.

Sebuah induktor atau reaktor adalah sebuah komponen elektronika pasif (kebanyakan berbentuk torus) yang dapat menyimpan energi pada medan magnet yang ditimbulkan oleh arus listrik yang melintasinya. Kemampuan induktor untuk menyimpan energi magnet ditentukan oleh induktansinya, dalam satuan Henry. Biasanya sebuah induktor adalah sebuah kawat penghantar yang dibentuk menjadi kumparan, lilitan membantu membuat medan magnet yang kuat di dalam kumparan dikarenakan hukum induksi Faraday. Induktor adalah salah satu komponen elektronik dasar yang digunakan dalam rangkaian yang arus dan tegangannya berubah-ubah dikarenakan kemampuan induktor untuk memproses arus bolak-balik. Sebuah induktor ideal memiliki induktansi, tetapi tanpa resistansi atau kapasitansi, dan tidak memboroskan daya. Sebuah induktor pada kenyataanya merupakan gabungan dari induktansi, beberapa resistansi karena resistivitas kawat, dan beberapa kapasitansi. Pada suatu frekuensi, induktor dapat menjadi sirkuit resonansi karena kapasitas parasitnya. Selain memboroskan daya pada resistansi kawat, induktor berinti magnet juga memboroskan daya di dalam inti karena efek histeresis, dan pada arus tinggi mungkin mengalami nonlinearitas karena penjenuhan.
