An inductor is an electrical component that is composed of wire wound into a
coil, which creates a magnetic field. Inductors are used to oppose the current flow, which allows energy to be stored in the coil of the conductor. Due to their characteristic to store energy, inductors are found in electronic equipment that uses alternating current (AC). The main purpose of an inductor is to supply a steady stream of current, changing the alternating current to direct current (DC). Most circuits are comprised of wire and three main components. Those components are resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Being one of the main components in a circuit, inductors play a crucial role in engineering and everyday living. Types There are various inductors in use but all are made up of the basic concept of a wire wound into a coil. A ferromagnetic core inductor is a type of inductor that has ferrite or iron in the interior so that the magnetic force is increased by a scale of several thousand, thus making the inductor far more effective. As Figure 1 depicts, there are different types of inductors that are utilized in the engineering profession. Inductors have various types of wire, coil patterns, coil spacing, and interior core materials. Each inductor has the necessary characteristics for the job that it needs to perform. If a stronger magnetic field is desired, Figure 1: Different types of Inductors the coils are wound tighter which generates a stronger field. As there many different combinations of inductor properties, inductors can be used in many applications, ranging from radio equipment to TV receivers. Inductors in Circuits
An inductor stores energy when current
flows through the coils magnetic force. The greater the current flow, the more force is generated in the inductor, thus creating more energy within the inductor. The letter for an inductor in a circuit is denoted by a capital L. The symbol in a typical circuit diagram is a coiled line, representing the Figure 2: Inductor in circuit coiled wire of an inductor. In Figure 2, three drawing capacitors are shown in a circuit schematic. They are parallel, meaning they are not connected in a linear fashion. The unit of inductance is a Henry, and is a capital H. The unit was named after the American scientist Joseph Henry who discovered the inductor and inductance. Due to the high energy value of a single henry, an inductor usually is measured in microhenries, which have a symbol of H and a value of 1x10-6 H.
