    An inductor is a passive electronic component that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. It is a coil of wire that creates an electromagnetic field when current passes through it. The inductor is characterized by its inductance, which is determined by factors like the coil shape, number of turns, spacing between turns, and the core material. Common types of inductors include iron core, air core, iron powder core, and ferrite core inductors. Inductors can be used to control signals by blocking AC current while passing DC, and to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. They have applications in tuning circuits, sensors, induction motors, transformers, and filters.

    WHAT IS INDUCTORS?

    An inductor is a passive component that is used in most power electronic circuits to


    store energy in the form of magnetic energy when electricity is applied to it.
    An inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor,

    Inductor is described by its distinctive nature of inductance, which is defined as the ratio of the voltage to
    the rate of change of current. Inductance is a result of the induced magnetic field on the coil. It is also
    determined by several factors such as;
    The shape of the coil.
    The number of turns and layers of the wire.
    The space that is given between the turns.
    Permeability of the core material.
    The size of the core.
    The S.I. unit of inductance is henry (H) and when we measure magnetic circuits it is equivalent to
    weber/ampere. It is denoted by the symbol L.
    INDUCTOR

    Inductor is totally different from a capacitor. In the case of a capacitor, it


    stores energy as electrical energy and an inductor stores energy in the form of
    magnetic energy.

    feature of the inductor is that it also changes its polarity while discharging. In
    this way polarity during discharging can be made opposite to the polarity
    during charging.
    TYPES OF INDUCTORS
    1. Iron Core Inductor
    2. Air Core Inductor
    3. Iron Powder Inductor
    4. Ferrite Core Inductor;
    Soft Ferrite
    Hard Ferrite

    Iron Core Inductor


    This type of inductor is made of iron. These inductors are low space inductors
    that have high power and high inductance value. However, they are limited in
    high-frequency capacity. These inductors are used in audio equipment.
    TYPES OF INDUCTORS
    Air Core Inductor
    These inductors are used when the amount of inductance
    required is low.
    This inductor can also be used in low-frequency
    applications that range from 20 Hz – 1 MHz.
    These are mainly used for interstage coupling.
    These inductors play a key role in designing RF & IF
    tuning coils.
    It is used to ensure a lower peak inductance, but also
    reduces the energy losses associated with ferrite
    inductors.

    TYPES OF INDUCTORS

    Iron Powder Inductor


    In this type of inductor, the core is Iron Oxide. They are
    formed by very fine and insulating particles of pure iron
    powder..
    Applications
    Switching Power Supplies
    Advantages
    Have air gaps to store the high magnetic flux
    Disadvantages
    Permeability of the cores is quite less
    TYPES OF INDUCTORS
    Ferrite Core Inductor
    Ferrite core inductors are produced using ferrite materials as cores. The ferrite cores have high magnetic
    permeability and are made from a combination of manganese, zinc, nickel, barium, etc.
    Soft Ferrite: Materials that have the ability to reverse their polarity without any external energy.
    Hard Ferrite: These are permanent magnets. That is their polarity will not change even when the magnetic
    field is removed.

    Applications
    Medium & High-frequencies
    PI Filters
    Switching Circuits
    Ferrite Rod Antenna
    Telecommunications
    Advantages
    Low electrical conductivity
    Low eddy current losses
    Disadvantages

    High hysteresis losses


    CONSTRUCTION OF INDUCTORS

    inductor it usually consists of a coil of conducting material (widely used ones include
    insulated copper wire) that is wrapped around a core that is made up of plastic material
    or ferromagnetic material.
    FUNCTIONS OF INDUCTORS
    Inductors can be used for two primary functions.
    1. To control signals.
    2. To store energy.
    Controlling Signals
    Coils in an inductor can be used to store energy. The function of the inductor depends upon the frequency of
    the current passing through it. That is for higher frequency signals will be passed less easily and vice versa.
    This function tells that it blocks AC Current and passes DC Current. Hence, it can be used to block AC signals.
    Inductors can be used along with capacitors to form LC filters.
    Storing Energy
    Inductor stores energy in the form of magnetic energy. Coils can store electrical energy in a form of magnetic
    energy using the property that an electric current flowing through a coil produces a magnetic field, which in
    turn produces an electric current. In other words, coils offer a means of storing energy on the basis of
    inductivity
    FUNCTIONS OF INDUCTORS

    Applications of inductors;
    Tuning circuits
    Sensors
    Store energy in a device
    Induction motors
    Transformers
    Filters
    Chokes
    Ferrite beads
    Inductors used as relays
    EFFECT OF INDUCTOR

    Inductors have parasitic effects which cause them to depart from ideal behavior.
    They create and suffer from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Their physical
    size prevents them from being integrated on semiconductor chips. So the use of
    inductors is declining in modern electronic devices, particularly compact portable
    devices.
    INDUCTOR IN
    PARALLEL FORM

    If two terminals of an inductor are connected


    to two terminals of another inductor, then
    the inductors are said to be parallel.

    when inductors are connected in parallel


    form, their effective inductance decreases.
    Inductors in parallel are somewhat similar to
    the capacitors in series.
    INDUCTOR IN SERIES FORM

    When the inductors are chained together in


    a straight line or when they are connected
    end to end, then the inductors are said to be
    in series connection.

    when inductors are connected in series,


    their effective inductance increases.
    Inductors in series are somewhat similar to
    the capacitors in parallel.
    Impedance of an Inductor
    AC resistance mostly determines the
    opposition of current flowing through a
    coil. This AC resistance is most
    commonly known as impedance.

    Inductive reactance which is given the


    symbol XL is the property in an AC
    circuit that opposes the change in the
    current.
    It is given by the equation,
    XL = VL / IL = Lω
