Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

This Design Idea shows how tocalculate the inductance of amultilayer air-core coil using only itsdimensions and resistance. If you knowthe dimensions and the number of turnson an air-core coil, you ...

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 ...

Have you ever had difficulty explaining the theory of inductance and its impact on an electrical circuit to a coworker or apprentice? A theoretical topic such as this is hard to comprehend but ...

YouTuber [RimstarOrg], AKA Hackaday’s own [Steven Dufresne], shows how to make a DIY inductor for a specific inductance. This is obviously a great skill to learn as sometimes your design may call for ...

[Apexys] is performing some experiments with switched-mode power supplies and needed to compare the inductance of the coils he was using. His multimeter doesn’t have an inductance testing function, ...

Keeping leakage inductance as low as possible to achieve higher efficiency is the goal of the company’s resonant inductors. Keeping a low profile, the components can mount on top of the transformer to ...
