The word 'inductors' is correct and can be used in written English.
It is usually used in reference to electrical engineering and can be defined as a component of an electrical circuit that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. Example sentence: Engineers often use inductors to contain and control the flow of energy in various electrical circuits.
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.
Before proceeding to circuits with resistors, capacitors, inductors, and sinusoidally varying electromotive forces, the behaviour of a circuit with a resistor and a capacitor will be discussed to clarify transient behaviour and the impedance properties of the capacitor.
The connections to these inductors are arranged so that, when the collector current increases, the voltage at the base also increases, thus causing the collector current to rise further.
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.
