1. Michael Faraday discovered that by moving a magnet through a coil of wire, a voltage
was induced across the coil.

2. The amount of induced voltage is directly proportional to the rate of change of the
magnetic field with respect to the coil.

3. Magnetic flux is defined as the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given
closed surface.

4. Magnetic flux is usually measured with a flux meter. SI unit of magnetic flux is Weber
(Wb).

5. The simplest of experiments can prove that when a bar magnet is moved through a coil
Av

of wire, a voltage is induced and can be measured on a voltmeter. This is commonly


known as Faraday's Law or the law of electromagnetic induction.

6. The induced EMF or electromagnetic force in a closed loop of wire is proportional to the
rate of change of the magnetic flux through a coil of wire.

7. The primary aspect of the operation of a coil is its property to oppose any change in
current through it. This property is called inductance.

8. A certain time is required for the current to make a change from one value to another.
The rate at which the current changes is determined by a time constant represented by
the greek letter tau (τ). The time constant for the RL circuit is: τ = L/R.

9. In a series RL circuit, the current will increase to 63% of its full value in 1 time constant
after the circuit is closed.
10. Capacitor and Inductor an exponential curve and reach 99% value after the 5th time
constant.

11. Physical parameters that affect the inductance are:


a. Number of turns
b. Cross sectional area
c. Length of coil
d. Material of coil

12. Whereas, the Inductance is directly proportional to number of turns of the coil and cross
sectional area, and inversely proportional to the length of the coil when the number of turns
are kept the same.

13. The EMF induced in an electric circuit always acts in such a direction that the current it

t
drives around a closed circuit produces a magnetic field which opposes the change in
magnetic flux is known as the lenz’s law.
oin
14. Mutual induction occurs when the varying of a magnetic field in one circuit causes a
nP
EMF to be produced in a neighboring circuit due to their proximity to each other.

15. Inductors used in radio can range from a straight wire at UHF to large chokes and
tio

transformers used for filtering the ripple from the output of power supplies and in audio
amplifiers.
ia

16. Inductors are classified by the type of core and the method of winding them.

17. Cores made of dielectric material like ceramics, wood, paper provide small amounts of
stored energy while cores made of ferrite substances have a much higher degree of stored
energy.

18. The most common core materials are: Air, solid ferrite, powdered ferrite, steel, toroid and
ferrite toroid.

19. The Henry is the basic unit of inductance and is symbolized with the letter H.

20. The general equation for n number of inductors in series is: LT = L₁ + L₂ + L₃ + … LN.
21. When inductors are connected in parallel, the total inductance is less than the smallest
inductance. The general equation for n number of inductors in parallel is:
Lt = 1/ 1/L₁ + 1/L₂ + 1/L₃ + ... 1/Ln.

22. The equation for inductive reactance is given by: XL = 2πf L.
