Radio amateurs often have a love-hate relationship with home-made inductors, sharing all kinds of tips and tricks as to how the most stable nanohenry inductor can be wound. But there’s anothe… ...

Pass the magnetic core in-and-out through the coil, and you'll generate electricity from a mechanical motion. Send both AC and DC currents down your circuit, and the inductor will block AC while ...

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 ...

TDK Corporation launches the ADL8030VA, an inductor designed for power-over-coaxial (PoC) applications. Due to its impedance ...

As you can see from Fig. 1, the inductor current is made up of ac and dc components. Because the ac component is high frequency, it will flow through the output capacitor, which offers a low HF ...

As current flows through the inductor, a magnetic field is induced in the coil. If the current is increased, the inductor draws energy from the current into the magnetic field. If the current is ...

Stockton, Calif. — West Coast Magnetic has introduced the 307 series of power inductors that can handle very high DC currents and high AC ripple currents from 60 Hz to 500 kHz. The power inductors ...

Fig. 1 shows the current through an inductor in continuous mode operation (upper waveform). One of its main elements, I DC, which is the geometrical center of the ac/ramp component, is also the ...
