As Lenz’s Law states, an inductor in a circuit opposes the flow of current through it because the flow induces an electromotive force (emf) that opposes it. In order to keep the current flowing ...

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

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

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. In all switching regulators, the inductor is used as an energy storage device. When the semiconductor switch is on, the current in the inductor ramps ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...

US researchers have made on-chip inductors smaller by adding ‘kinetic inductance’ to conventional magnetic inductance. The work cuts the size of 10-50GHz inductors by a third. Kinetic inductance ...

MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced two new IHDM Automotive Grade edge-wound, through-hole inductors in the 1107 case size with ...
