Sentence examples for inductance from inspiring English sources
The word 'inductance' is correct and can be used in written English
It refers to the property of an electric circuit or component that causes an electromotive force to be generated by a change in the current flowing. Example: "The inductance of the coil was causing interference in the radio signal."
noun
The property of an electric circuit by which a voltage is induced in it by a changing magnetic field.
- The power cable itself has enough inductance to disrupt the digital signal of the video output cable, due to poor shielding.
Electromagnetic transducers form a large group, the major categories of which are differential transformers, Hall-effect magnetic transducers, inductance transducers, induction transducers, and saturable reactors.
If a current changing at the rate of one ampere per second induces an electromotive force of one volt, the circuit has an inductance of one henry, a relatively large inductance.
Inductive reactance, a measure of this opposition to the current, is proportional to both the frequency f of the alternating current and a property of the inductor called inductance (symbolized by L and depending in turn on the inductor's dimensions, arrangement, and surrounding medium).
If these elements are connected in series, the circuit presents low impedance to alternating current of the resonant frequency, which is determined by the values of the inductance and capacitance, and high impedance to current of other frequencies.
For receiver circuits, adequate oscillator stability can be obtained with conventional tuned circuits, but the transmitter oscillator must be highly stable, and a circuit made up of inductance and capacitance, tuned to the desired frequency, is not sufficiently stable.
Sadly, a few simple calculations showed that the energy required was far more than could be achieved by charging a handful of low-inductance condensers with torch batteries, and then rapidly dumping the energy into some sort of antenna or waveguide.
One henry is the value of self-inductance in a closed circuit or coil in which one volt is produced by a variation of the inducing current of one ampere per second.
For example, one metre of straight copper wire has a self-inductance on the order of one microhenry.
Frequencies of between 50 kHz (thousands of hertz) and 1,000 MHz (millions of hertz) are usually measured by means of a tuned inductance-capacitance circuit.
Such a phenomenon is called self-induction, and the quotient of the induced electromotive force and the rate of change of the current is specified as self-inductance.
