Inductors

An inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor, is a


passive two-terminal electrical component that
stores energy in a magnetic field when an electric
current flows through it. An inductor typically
consists of an insulated wire wound into a coil.

When the current flowing through the coil changes, the time-
varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force (emf)
(voltage) in the conductor, described by Faraday's law of
induction. According to Lenz's law, the induced voltage has a
polarity (direction) which opposes the change in current that
created it. As a result, inductors oppose any changes in current
through them.
Magnetic properties of current and coils

The orientation of the magnetic force lines can be


ascertained by the so-called right-handed screw
rule. If the current direction is likened to a right-
handed screw being driven into a material, the
magnetic field lines are oriented in the same sense
as the screw being turned.

Coil and magnetic force lines


When a current flows in a coil, the magnetic
force lines are combined and also pass through
the core of the coil
Electromagnetic induction and coil inductance
if two coils are wound on an iron core of
circular shape, and if the primary side coil is
connected to a battery via a switch, turning
the switch on and off will result in a current
flowing in the coil on the secondary side, due
to the effect of the electromotive force
(induced electromotive force). This
phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is
also called mutual induction.
Inductive Kick
Coil design and inductance

The coil inductance changes


according to the coil shape. For
example, the inductance of a
single layer solenoid coil can be
calculated using the equation
shown
FERRITE Cores
Area Product (AP)
AP=Ac *Aw : Cross * Window

Role of AP in Power Inductor Design


The Area Product is directly related to the power handling capability of
the inductor. It combines magnetic and electrical constraints to ensure
the core is appropriately sized. The method ensures that:

• The core can store the required energy without saturating.


• The windings fit within the core window while keeping losses and
heat manageable.
