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 ...

Electronic circuits are integral parts of nearly all the technological advances being made in our lives today. Television, radio, phones and computers immediately come to mind, but electronics are ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. In all switching regulators, the inductor is used as an energy storage device. When the semiconductor switch is on, the current in the inductor ramps ...

Mathieu Renaud, Senior Power Management Designer, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Yves Gagnon, Executive Director, Intégration Dolphin Inc. Inductor-based Switching Regulators (SR) have historically ...

This circuit for measurement of inductance and capacitance can be used to test whether the values of inductors and capacitors quoted by the manufacturer are correct. The principle used in the circuit ...
