Question

How does an inductor work?


Open in App
Solution

Working:

  1. A passive electronic component known as an inductor has the ability to store electrical energy in the form of magnetic energy.
  2. In essence, a conductor is twisted into a coil, and as electricity enters the coil from the left to the right, this produces a magnetic field that rotates counterclockwise.
  3. An electronic component known as an inductor has the ability to store electric energy in the form of magnetic energy.
  4. An inductor's current flows through its terminals when a voltage is applied across them, producing a magnetic field. In turn, this magnetic field induces a current to flow in the opposite direction. Due to the voltage across the inductor, the generated current actively resists the incoming current rather than canceling each other out.
