  2. Inductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor

    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. [1] An inductor typically consists of an insulated wire wound into a coil.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Induction heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heating

    Component of Stirling radioisotope generator is heated by induction during testing. Induction heating is the process of heating electrically conductive materials, namely metals or semi-conductors, by electromagnetic induction, through heat transfer passing through an inductor that creates an electromagnetic field within the coil to heat up and possibly melt steel, copper, brass, graphite, gold ...

  5. 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.

  6. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Electromagnetic induction has found many applications, including electrical components such as inductors and transformers, and devices such as electric motors and generators. History Faraday's experiment showing induction between coils of wire: The liquid battery (right) provides a current that flows through the small coil (A) , creating a ...

  7. Choke (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(electronics)

    In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core , although some consist of a doughnut-shaped ferrite bead strung on a wire.

  8. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    Saturable inductor current sensor is based on the detection of an inductance change. The saturable inductor is made of small and thin magnetic core wound with a coil around it. The saturable inductor operates into its saturation region. It is designed in such a way that the external and internal flux density will affect its saturation level.

  9. Induction coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_coil

    Antique induction coil used in schools from around 1900, Bremerhaven, Germany. An induction coil or "spark coil" (archaically known as an inductorium or Ruhmkorff coil [1] after Heinrich Rühmkorff) is a type of transformer [2] [3] [4] used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply.
