Inductors

We have examined the resistor and the capacitor in

detail. In this chapter we shall consider a third element, the
inductor, which has a number of response characteristics
similar in many respects to those of the capacitor. In fact,
some sections of this chapter will proceed parallel to those for
the capacitor to emphasize the similarity that exists between
the two elements
If a conductor is moved through a magnetic field so
that it cuts magnetic lines of flux, a voltage will be induced
across the conductor, as shown in Fig. 12.1. The greater the
number of flux lines cut per unit time (by increasing the speed
with which the conductor passes through the field), or the
stronger the magnetic field strength (for the same traversing
speed), the greater will be the induced voltage across the
conductor.
If the conductor is held fixed and the magnetic field is
moved so that its flux lines cut the conductor, the same effect
will be produced. If a coil of N turns is placed in the region of
a changing flux, as in Fig. 12.2, a voltage will be induced
across the coil as determined by
Faraday’s law:

where N represents the number of turns of the coil and df/dt is

the instantaneous change in flux (in webers) linking the coil.
The term linking refers to the flux with in the turns of wire.
The term changing simply indicates that either the strength of
the field linking the coil changes in magnitude or the coil is
moved through the field in such a way that the number of flux
lines through the coil changes with time. If the flux linking
the coil ceases to change, such as when the coil simply sits
still in a magnetic field of fixed strength, df/dt _ 0, and the
induced voltage
