  2. Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

    the inductance of a solenoid follows as =. A table of inductance for short solenoids of various diameter to length ratios has been calculated by Dellinger, Whittmore, and Ould. [18] This, and the inductance of more complicated shapes, can be derived from Maxwell's equations. For rigid air-core coils, inductance is a function of coil geometry ...

    (In the case of an electrical circuit, a capacitor to absorb energy stored in (often parasitic) supply side inductance.) High frequency PWM power control systems are easily realisable with semiconductor switches. As explained above, almost no power is dissipated by the switch in either on or off state.

  4. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    An electronic component designed to add inductance to a circuit is called an inductor. It typically consists of a coil or helix of wire. The term inductance was coined by Oliver Heaviside in May 1884, as a convenient way to refer to "coefficient of self-induction".

  5. Henry (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_(unit)

    The henry (symbol: H) is the unit of electrical inductance in the International System of Units (SI). [1] If a current of 1 ampere flowing through a coil produces flux linkage of 1 weber turn, that coil has a self-inductance of 1 henry.‌ The unit is named after Joseph Henry (1797–1878), the American scientist who discovered electromagnetic induction independently of and at about the same ...

  6. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    The solenoid can be useful for positioning, stopping mid-stroke, or for low velocity actuation; especially in a closed loop control system. A uni-directional solenoid would actuate against an opposing force or a dual solenoid system would be self cycling. The proportional concept is more fully described in SAE publication 860759 (1986).

  7. Solenoid (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    Let be the solenoid constructed this way, then the topology of the solenoid is just the subset topology induced by the Euclidean topology on . Since the parametrization is bijective, we can pullback the topology on S {\displaystyle S} to R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } , which makes R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } itself the solenoid.

  8. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    A solenoid The longitudinal cross section of a solenoid with a constant electrical current running through it. The magnetic field lines are indicated, with their direction shown by arrows. The magnetic flux corresponds to the 'density of field lines'. The magnetic flux is thus densest in the middle of the solenoid, and weakest outside of it.

  9. Short-circuit inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_inductance

    The industrial standard also stipulates a method for obtaining the coupling factor by combining it with the open circuit inductance value. Equivalent circuit. Measured primary and secondary short-circuit inductances may be considered as constituent parts of primary and secondary self-inductances. They are derived by using Ho-Thevenin's theorem ...
