  2. 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".

  3. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    For example, the drum generator is based upon the figure to the bottom-right. A different implementation of this idea is the Faraday's disc , shown in simplified form on the right. In the Faraday's disc example, the disc is rotated in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the disc, causing a current to flow in the radial arm due to the ...

  5. Inductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor

    An inductor is characterized by its inductance, which is the ratio of the voltage to the rate of change of current. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of inductance is the henry (H) named for 19th century American scientist Joseph Henry. In the measurement of magnetic circuits, it is equivalent to ⁠ weber / ampere ⁠.

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Within two months, Faraday had found several other manifestations of electromagnetic induction. For example, he saw transient currents when he quickly slid a bar magnet in and out of a coil of wires, and he generated a steady current by rotating a copper disk near the bar magnet with a sliding electrical lead ("Faraday's disk").

  8. Electrical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_element

    For example, an inductor circuit element is assumed to have inductance but no resistance or capacitance, while a real inductor, a coil of wire, has some resistance in addition to its inductance. This may be modeled by an ideal inductance element in series with a resistance.

  9. Inductive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_coupling

    k is the coupling coefficient, Le1 and Le2 is the leakage inductance, M1 (M2) is the mutual inductance. An inductively coupled transponder consists of a solid state transceiver chip connected to a large coil that functions as an antenna. When brought within the oscillating magnetic field of a reader unit, the transceiver is powered up by energy ...
