You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel active power decoupling converter topology, where additional components are not necessary in order to minimize the power decoupling circuit. In conventional ...

Abstract: In order to obtain a reliable high power inductor, it is necessary to precisely determine the inductor equivalent circuit parameters. This paper discusses two PCB winding configurations for ...

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 ...

This Idea For Design shows how a gyrator circuit can be used to perform certain ac tests on units under test that require a dc-current feed. Designers have long used the gyrator circuit to create a ...

If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...
