An inductor is the simplest electronic component. It is an electrical component that stores energy in a magnetic field. An inductor consists of a wire that is wound into a coil.
What is the purpose of an inductor? Current surge or spikes can be slowed down by temporarily storing energy in a magnetic field and releasing it back into the circuit.
The inventor of the insturment? It’s hard to imagine a world without electrical transformers and inductors. Technology was changed when the property of inductance was discovered by Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday.
I would like to introduce you to another important component in the field of electronics and electricals. A magnetic field can be created by a passive two-terminal component. It’s called a coil. Any change in current is opposed by an inductor.
The current generated in the inductor is proportional to the rate of magnetic field change. The inductor will resist from sudden changes in the current.
The galvanometer showed a small current. The inductor coil was invented by Reverend Nicholas Calland. The earliest version of the inductor consisted of a coil with two terminals at the ends.
