Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

Used in applications ranging from RF to power supply filters, inductors are magnetic elements with resistance and capacitance parasitics. Inductors rely on the magnetic field that forms around a ...

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...
