Inductors
An inductor, a key passive component, is mainly used in AC circuits. It consists of a copper coil wound on a core. Inductance, measured in Henrys, is the ability to produce an induced voltage when current varies, opposing changes in current. One Henry is defined as the inductance that induces one volt when the current changes at one ampere per second.
Types Of Inductors
Inductors can be classified into two groups as, (i) Fixed inductors (ii) Variable inductors. But they are classified according to the material used for the core.
- Air core inductors: In this type a length of conductor, copper wire is wound on a hollow tube of these materials. Here air acts as a core, hence the name air-core inductor.
- Iron core inductors: Iron core inductors, commonly referred to as chokes, use iron as the coil's core. As a magnetic material, iron channels flux lines produced by AC current without external leakage.
- Ferrite core inductors: Ferrite is an artificially made non-metallic material. When a Ferro-magnetic material is placed in former of the coil the Ferrite core exhibits a minimum loss of lines of flux.
