Some inductive deviees, such as transformers, AC (oltemating current) motors, and fluorescent lights, operate ‘when supplied with s bidirectional current In general, inductive elements can store energy in 3 mag~ netic field. Typically, the magnetic field is supported by an ‘elecric curent flowing through th inductive element. Induc~ tance may be a function ofthe characteristics of magnetic flux path. For example, inductance in some elements may ‘depesd on material properties of a core (eg. at, stee, and path, and/ora flo density saturation evel ‘of energy stored ia a magnetic field of an induetive element can be funtion of the induetanee and the ‘general, the amount of energy stored in the mag- netic fed inereases as current inereases, and docreases as the ‘current decreases. Accordingly, when the current through the induetive element is zer, the stored inductive energy is also ‘One characteristic of an ideal inductor is that a voltage ‘ross th inductor is proportional to its inductance and the time mie of change of curent. This concept may be repre= sented by a formula as: VL di ‘Under certain eonltions, the energy stored in an inductor ‘ean generate potentially uncontrolled large voltages. This ‘effect may be referred to by tems such as reverse electromo- tiveforee(REMF),lyhack voltage, or “inductive kick" Asan ithstative example, ifan inductor is being supplied a current through a switch, and that switch is rapidly opened, then the inductor may have relatively large change of current (Lange
