  2. Inductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor

    Probably the most common type of variable inductor today is one with a moveable ferrite magnetic core, which can be slid or screwed in or out of the coil. Moving the core farther into the coil increases the permeability, increasing the magnetic field and the inductance. Many inductors used in radio applications (usually less than 100 MHz) use ...

  3. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Heaviside's version (see Maxwell–Faraday equation below) is the form recognized today in the group of equations known as Maxwell's equations. In 1834 Heinrich Lenz formulated the law named after him to describe the "flux through the circuit". Lenz's law gives the direction of the induced emf and current resulting from electromagnetic induction.

  4. Induction heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heater

    Also known as the inductor, the coil is used to transfer the energy from the power unit and work head to the work piece. Inductors range in complexity from a simple wound solenoid consisting of a number of turns of copper tube wound around a mandrel, to a precision item machined from solid copper, brazed and soldered together. As the inductor ...

    Heaviside's version (see Maxwell–Faraday equation below) is the form recognized today in the group of equations known as Maxwell's equations. Lenz's law , formulated by Emil Lenz in 1834, [ 13 ] describes "flux through the circuit", and gives the direction of the induced emf and current resulting from electromagnetic induction (elaborated ...

  6. Inductive sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_sensor

    Inductive sensors constitute the main element to build a search coil magnetometer, also known as a search coil.These are used in many fields of research: magnetotellurics, electromagnetic waves measurement, space magnetometers to investigate electromagnetic waves in space plasma as well as natural electromagnetic waves observations on Earth.

  7. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    In electromagnetism, an eddy current (also called Foucault's current) is a loop of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday's law of induction or by the relative motion of a conductor in a magnetic field.

  8. Loading coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_coil

    Pupin coils in PTT Museum in Belgrade (Serbia). A loading coil or load coil is an inductor that is inserted into an electronic circuit to increase its inductance.The term originated in the 19th century for inductors used to prevent signal distortion in long-distance telegraph transmission cables.

  9. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    A 6-minute ‘how-it-works video’ tutorial explaining how engine-dynamometer and chassis dyno eddy-current absorbers work. Most chassis dynamometers and many engine dynos use an eddy-current brake as a means of providing an electrically adjustable load on the engine. They are often referred to as an "absorber" in such applications.
