  When inductors are connected in series, the total inductance is the sum of the individual inductors' inductances. To understand why this is so, consider the following: the definitive measure of inductance is the amount of voltage dropped across an i...

• Factors affecting inductance

  Posted on Friday May 23rd, 2008 at 06:57 in inductors

  There are four basic factors of inductor construction determining the amount of inductance created. These factors all dictate inductance by affecting how much magnetic field flux will develop for a given amount of magnetic field force (current throu...

  Inductors do not have a stable "resistance" as conductors do. However, there is a definite mathematical relationship between voltage and current for an inductor, as follows: You should recognize the form of this equation from the capacit...

• Magnetic fields and inductance

  Posted on Friday May 23rd, 2008 at 06:55 in inductors

  Whenever electrons flow through a conductor, a magnetic field will develop around that conductor. This effect is called electromagnetism. Magnetic fields effect the alignment of electrons in an atom, and can cause physical force to develop between ...
