Induktoreiksi

Induktoreiksi, often translated as inductors, are fundamental passive electronic components that store electrical energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through them. This property is known as inductance, measured in henries (H). An inductor typically consists of a coil of wire, often wound around a core material to enhance its magnetic properties. The core can be made of air, iron, ferrite, or other magnetic materials, each affecting the inductor's performance in different ways. When the current through an inductor changes, it generates a voltage that opposes this change, a phenomenon described by Faraday's law of induction and Lenz's law. This self-inductance is a key characteristic of inductors. Inductors are used in a wide variety of electronic circuits, including filters, oscillators, transformers, and energy storage applications in power supplies. Their ability to resist changes in current makes them crucial for smoothing out fluctuating currents and shaping electrical signals. The physical construction and core material significantly influence an inductor's inductance value, its ability to handle current, and its frequency response.
