Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

Question: How do you measure inductor current? Answer: Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors to temporarily store energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it’s often useful to ...

Inductors have the exact opposite characteristics of capacitors. Inductors store energy in a magnetic field (produced by the current through wire), whereas capacitors store energy in an electric field ...

This video/article is part of Dostal's Designs series in Ideas for Design and the TechXchange: Power Supply Design. You can also post a question. Members can download ...

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 ...

Electronic circuits are integral parts of nearly all the technological advances being made in our lives today. Television, radio, phones and computers immediately come to mind, but electronics are ...
