Inductors :
Inductors are circuit elements that consist of a conducting wire in
the shape of a coil
Circuit representation
for an inductor
UAE University
Department of Electrical Engineering Dr.Hazem N.Nounou
If a current is flowing in the inductor, it produce a
magnetic field ,.
The direction of () depends on the right-hand rule.
As the current increases or decreases, the magnetic
field spreads or collapse
The change in magnetic field induces a voltage across
the inductor.
