  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 ...

  3. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    Thus, inductance is a property of a conductor or circuit, due to its magnetic field, which tends to oppose changes in current through the circuit. The unit of inductance in the SI system is the henry (H), named after Joseph Henry , which is the amount of inductance that generates a voltage of one volt when the current is changing at a rate of ...

  4. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The device creates a magnetic field [1] from electric current, and uses the magnetic field to create linear motion. [2] [3] [4] In electromagnetic technology, a solenoid is an actuator assembly with a sliding ferromagnetic plunger inside the coil. Without power, the plunger extends for part of its length outside the coil; applying power pulls ...

  5. 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.

  6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    The magnetic Lorentz force v × B drives a current along the conducting radius to the conducting rim, and from there the circuit completes through the lower brush and the axle supporting the disc. This device generates an emf and a current, although the shape of the "circuit" is constant and thus the flux through the circuit does not change ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Choke (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(electronics)

    Common-mode choke with two 20 mH windings, rated to handle 2 amperes. In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit.

  9. Induction coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_coil

    Antique induction coil used in schools from around 1900, Bremerhaven, Germany. An induction coil or "spark coil" (archaically known as an inductorium or Ruhmkorff coil [1] after Heinrich Rühmkorff) is a type of transformer [2] [3] [4] used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply.
