Previous tutorials have shown the properties and characteristics of simple resistor-only and inductor-only AC circuits. We will now investigate the effects of combining the two components together.

This video explains the function of inductors and how they store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them. Inductors are essential passive components used to manage current changes ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

This Idea For Design shows how a gyrator circuit can be used to perform certain ac tests on units under test that require a dc-current feed. Designers have long used the gyrator circuit to create a ...
