CPE 032 (Inductance) Flashcards
Inductor, also called a?
choke
is another passive type electrical component designed to take advantage of this relationship by producing a much stronger magnetic field than one that would be produced by a simple coil.
Inductor
Symbol of inductance is?
L
Unit of inductance is?
Henry
the property of an electric circuit by which an electromotive force is induced in it as the result of changing magnetic flux.
Inductance
temporary magnet production due to flow of electric current.
Electromagnet
is the production of voltage across an electric conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field.
Electromagnetic induction
Wires coiled in multiple turns generate a greater magnetic field than linear wires do. Such a coil is called an?
inductor
is usually constructed as a coil of conducting material, typically copper wire, wrapped around a core either of air or ferrous material.
Inductor
A magnetic field is created when the ____ runs through an inductor
current
Factors Affecting Inductance.
Core: (material), and (shape and size)
Wire: (number of turns), and (shape, size and arrangement)
Inductance Formula
L = NΦ / I
Engineers use the inductance formula to design transformers that efficiently transfer electrical energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction.
Designing Transformers
The formula helps in creating inductors which regulate current and filter noise in electrical systems.
Building Inductors
It allows for the design of motors and generators by predicting how magnetic fields interact with electrical currents.
Developing Electrical Motors and Generators
Technicians apply the formula to design tuned circuits in radios and TVs to select desired frequencies.
Creating Tuned Circuits
It assists in developing systems like magnetic energy storage, optimizing how energy is stored and retrieved.
Improving Energy Storage Systems
The formula is instrumental in designing circuits that prevent surge currents, protecting sensitive electronic components.
Suppressing Surge Currents
Inductors connected in series
Et = e1 + e2
Lt = L1 + L2 + Ln
I = IL1 = IL2
Inductors connected in parallel
Et = e1 + e2
It = I1 + I2
(1/Lt) = (1/L1) + (1/L2) + (1/Ln)
Inductors connected in series-parallel
It = I1 + I2
Lt = L1 + L2 // L3
= L1 + (L2 x L3 / L2 + L3)
An is a component in an electrical circuit which stores energy in its magnetic field.
