Why Coils Resist Change. The less often used of the passive components, the humble and mysterious inductor is the subject of ...

Inductors may look like simple coils, but they play a key role in controlling current and storing energy in circuits. This ...

Learn the fundamentals of energy in an inductor and magnetic field density in this beginner-friendly physics tutorial! In this video, we break down key concepts, formulas, and examples to help you ...

Boards are getting smaller, but power needs keep rising. An inductor shows how engineers can save space without losing ...

Engineering consultant Frank Hertel outlines a method of measuring an inductor’s value using only an oscilloscope and a signal or function generator.

Creating a basic inductor on a substrate sounds easy—just metallize the substrate, preferably with a spiral, serpentine, or other pattern. While traditional microchip inductors are relatively large 2D ...
