WHAT DOES INDUCTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

inductor

Inductor

An inductor, also called a coil or sometimes even known as a reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component which resists changes in electric current passing through it. It consists of a conductor such as a wire, usually wound into a coil. When a current flows through it, energy is stored temporarily in a magnetic field in the coil. When the current flowing through an inductor changes, the time-varying magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor, according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, which opposes the change in current that created it. An inductor is characterized by its inductance, the ratio of the voltage to the rate of change of current, which has units of henries. Inductors have values that typically range from 1 µH to 1 H. Many inductors have a magnetic core made of iron or ferrite inside the coil, which serves to increase the magnetic field and thus the inductance. Along with capacitors and resistors, inductors are one of the three passive linear circuit elements that make up electric circuits. Inductors are widely used in alternating current electronic equipment, particularly in radio equipment.

Definition of inductor in the English dictionary

The definition of inductor in the dictionary is a person or thing that inducts. Other definition of inductor is a component, such as a coil, in an electrical circuit the main function of which is to produce inductance.
