Sentence examples for inductor from inspiring English sources
The word 'inductor' is correct and commonly used in written English
It refers to an electrical component that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. Inductors are typically used in electronic circuits to control the flow of current. Example: "The engineer added an inductor to the circuit to regulate the voltage and prevent overloading."
noun
A passive device that introduces inductance into an electrical circuit
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).
A capacitor in a circuit retards current flow by causing the alternating voltage to lag behind the alternating current, a relationship in contrast to that caused by an inductor.
The tuned circuit affects the feedback process in such a way that the circuit responds to an input signal at only one frequency namely, the frequency to which the inductor and capacitor are tuned.
In a tunable oscillator, such as that required for a radio receiver, the parallel combination of an inductor and a capacitor is a tuned circuit: at one frequency, and only one, the inductive effects and the capacitive effects balance.
The way an AC circuit functions can be better understood by examining one that includes a source of sinusoidally varying electromotive force, a resistor, a capacitor, and an inductor, all connected in series.
Finally, the value of the potential difference Vd − Va across the inductor depends on the rate of change of the current through the inductor, di/dt.
In one such arrangement, a saturable-inductor compass (so named because of its use of materials that can be readily induced to carry a maximum magnetic flow, or magnetic saturation) is mounted on a gyroscope, but this is not always convenient from the point of view of size and weight.
An extension of this technique was the printed component; resistors, capacitors, and low value inductors became a part of the printing process.
The pendulum, if not too far from the vertical, is a linear system, as are electrical circuits containing resistors that obey Ohm's law or capacitors and inductors for which voltage and current also are proportional.
In the early days of radio and up to the end of World War II, radio receivers consisted of resistors, capacitors, inductors (coils), and electronic tubes joined together by wires with coloured insulation.
Circuits that can generate such oscillating currents are called oscillators; they include, in addition to transistors, such basic electrical components as resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
