Inductance

Inductance is the property of a device that tells us how effectively it induces an emf in another device. In other words, it is a physical quantity that …
Mutual inductance arises when a current in one circuit produces a changing magnetic field that induces an emf in another circuit. On the other hand, …
An inductor, also known as a choke, is a circuit component created to have a specific inductance. Inductors are among the crucial circuit components used …
If a magnetic field is sustained, there must be a current in a closed circuit or loop, implying some energy has been spent in creating the field. If this …
A coaxial cable consists of a central copper conductor used for transmitting signals, followed by an insulator shield, a metallic braided mesh that …
An RL circuit consists of a resistor and an inductor and may have a source of emf connected to it. The inductor in the circuit helps to prevent rapid …
The current growth and decay in RL circuits can be understood by considering a series RL circuit consisting of a resistor, an inductor, a constant source …
An LC circuit consists of an inductor and a capacitor, either in series or parallel. Consider a charged capacitor connected with an inductor in series. …
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and …
An RLC series circuit comprises an inductor, a resistor, and a charged capacitor connected in series. When the circuit is closed, the capacitor begins to …
An RC circuit consists of resistance and capacitance, while in an RL circuit, capacitance is replaced by an inductor. RL and RC circuits are first-order …
The self-inductance of a circuit, often simply called the inductance, is a purely geometric factor that depends only on the circuit component's …
An RLC circuit combines a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, connected in a series or parallel combination. Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the …
Superconducting microwave resonators are of interest for a wide range of applications, including for their use as microwave kinetic inductance detectors …
Intelligent robots are part of a new generation of robots that are able to sense the surrounding environment, plan their own actions and eventually reach …
Magnetic nanowires possess unique properties that have attracted the interest of different fields of research, including basic physics, biomedicine, and …
