  • Inductors Explained, in this tutorial we look at how inductors work, where inductors are used, why inductors are used, the different types. We take an in depth look at how the circuits perform with a parallel resistive and inductive load as well as their profile with an oscilloscope.

      ​@@razen4758 Most common practical uses of inductor are as filters, like low pass filters, so they filtered out higher frequencies(inductors are known that with higher frequencies they become like resistors for current flow because of opposed magnetic field.. More advance use of inductors for example is transformers where magnetic field of first primar inductor(coil) go through wires of second secondar inductor and generate lower voltage current of same frequency. Also lately there are very popular inductor cooktops, where they use energy of electro magnetic field, to generate heat on right cookware, where coockware presenting resistance to that magnetic field, so they heating up.

    This is a really good explanation of what an inductor is and what it does, however, they(inductors) as well as capacitors act different with DC as they do with AC and have different applications with both types of voltage sources. Inductors are a short circuit to DC and have resistance to AC (reactance) while capacitors have totally opposite properties and are resistive within DC circuits bit offer low resistance paths(i.e. SHORTS) to AC voltage sources. In AC circuits, this property is called either inductive reactance Xl = 2*pi*F*L , or capacitive reactance Xc =1/(2*pi*F*C). Caps and inductors are typically used together in series and parallel combinations to form different types of filters such as band pass, band reject, and high or low pass filters(depending on how they're connected to the circuits output either allowing a freq range to pass to the output and on to another stage, or route the tuned freq of the tank circuit to ground to act as a filter, OR, as an oscillator . When combined with resistors, the total combined effect is called impedance, denoted by the symbol Z and is the square root of the sum of R squared plus X Squared .

      Good explanation. The reason for this behavior is explained at 5:53. I wish these details of reactance, AC vs DC, and applications were added.
      Edit:
      For those learning, DC has no change in current so inductor just passes current along and acts like a wire. AC has a change of current so the inductor opposes the change and acts more like a resistor. Inductor is like a frequency dependent resistor XL=jwL=imaginary number*frequency*inductance.

      That’s the difference between a technician and a technologist. My dad was a technical guy and taught me electron flow. But when I studied to be an electronic engineer, my professor, Dr. Ludeman, taught conventional flow. He has a saying when questioned about this, “I’ve never seen the color of an electron.” (He has a PhD in physics.) What he means is why does it matter if you can think both ways and easily switch between either?

    Great explanation and analogy on the operation of inductor! However, I'd like to point out something that I've noticed in most lecture, that is they always provide a current path for inductor when the switch is off. One critical factor for using an indicator is to also understand what happens if a current path is not provided and what the consequences are. I've noticed many people using inductor without knowing what "kickback voltage spike" is. It would be best if the video includes this part as well.

      Yes we used to make electric shock machines in our lunchboxes at school using choke coils out of old TV sets (cathode ray ones). We would have two handles instead of the bulb. A 9v batter and a switch. The collapsing field generated such a high voltage that you could get a circle of kids with the one at each end holding one handle each, to all jump from an electric shock. No idea what the voltage was... we just thought it was hilarious.

    Truely remarkably good video ! Inductors are complex, for usually its a coil with a current that creates the magnetic field. and other times its an Antenna recieving a magnetic field, creating a current . An inductor stores a magnetic field. The Volt is instant but the Ampere is Delayed and ramp slowly, fade in, once the switch is in. Switch opens and the current fades out in a ramp over time. Just opposite of a Capacitor, where the Ampere charges first, steep. but the Voltage rises in a slow ramp . Phase Compensation . Henry in a coil would be the same concept as Farads in a cap. Its energy stored is one thing, but the Time it takes to deplete the energy is depending on the resistance of the circuit with load . The magnetic field in a coil would deplete even if both coil ends are completly removed from any circuit, because its driven by the current. Once the current is removed from a coil, it takes time for it to fade out, time for the electrons to settle, the time sequence to reach ground state or Quantum Inertia ! depending on L = henry . I suppose you can call that eddy currents as well as Back EMF, as well as self inductance.

    I was confused at first, thinking "isn't this what capacitors are supposed to do?" But capacitors resist changes in voltage, not current. And I now understand the difference much better. Capacitors build up a charge, the charge remains when the battery is disconnected, but the voltage difference is still there, now provided by the capacitor instead of the battery. For an inductor, the magnetic field the generate keeps existing for a little while, and this magnetic field induces a current in the wire when the battery is disconnected, thus keeping the current going for a little while longer until the battery collapses. Thus capacitors provide voltage, and inductors provide current.

      I think it would cause problems for components that need DC. However I'm pretty sure that inductors are often used in series with the load, unlike the example in this video where the inductor is parallel to the load, and causes the current to change direction when the battery is disconnected.

Having said that, I used to work for the railroad as a locomotive engineer operating DC/DC diesel electric locomotives. I never really understood why the locomotives had to make transition (change the electrical connection between the generator and traction motors) as the speed changed. Something to do with back EMF, but it was never really explained.

      @MrScreamingSilence 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Honestly it's kind of the same for me. What I got from this is that an inductor basically acts the same as a resistor and a capacitor combined, so the only reason to use it would be to save space I guess? The only difference to a cap and res combo would be the way it reduces the flow, since it acts as a resistor while and after being charged, therefore not delivering the full power while connected, but then acts a cap and gives the stored energy back, whereas a resistor would constantly resist the same way and the cap not really interefering much with the current. It's confusing indeed

    • @radfue
      @radfue 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Inductors allow to store energy for converters to work (buck, boost). They can be used as a low pass filter (remember its impedance is jwL, greater for higher frequencies because a greater variation in magnetic flux generates a higher voltage that oposses it), for example it can avoid high frequencies from noise from reaching the voltage source by making the path to it have a greater impedance for high frequencies that the path you want to redirect them to. And well obviously as a part of a transformer which has multiple uses.

    • @RichardFreeberg
      @RichardFreeberg 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The problem is that what we call "electronics" is in reality just various applications of Theoretical Physics - and the physics behind these devices is generally quite complex. Sadly, to really understand what and why one needs a solid background in University level Physics. And even then, some of the phenomenae have multiple theoretical models for their explanation! Simple explanations based on analogies to other better known physical systems such as plumbing and water have limited usefulness and can often lead to false assumptions regarding real-world circuits...
