   Inductors, Switch Mode

An inductor is a passive electrical device employed in electrical circuits for its property of inductance. An inductor can take many forms.

Inductance (measured in henries) is an effect which results from the magnetic field that forms around a current carrying conductor. Electrical current through the conductor creates a magnetic flux proportional to the current. A change in this current creates a change in magnetic flux that, in turn, generates an electromotive force (emf) that acts to oppose this change in current. Inductance is a measure of the generated emf for a unit change in current. For example, an inductor with an inductance of 1 henry produces an emf of 1 V when the current through the inductor changes at the rate of 1 ampere per second. The inductance of a conductor is increased by coiling the conductor such that the magnetic flux encloses (links) all of the coils (turns). Additionally, the magnetic flux linking these turns can be increased by coiling the conductor around a material with a high permeability.
