Inductor, Inductance, explanation, formula

Definition:-

"Inductor is an electronic device that is use to store energy in the form of magnetic field."

Explanation:-

Inductor store energy in magnetic field around it. Inductor is an coil of a conductor(wire). wire wounding on some rod or magnet. when a current passes through the conductor then there will be magnetic field around the wire. We wound the wire because by winding there would produce a strong magnetic field around this, we could increase the strength of  magnetic field around coil by taking efficient core like magnet and by increasing number of turns of coil and increasing cross sectional area of inductor. When current flows through the inductor there would produce magnetic field around it and in that magnetic field energy would be store (in the form electrons). It would be store until current is flowing through it. When current will stop it will release all the energy.

Inductor does not allow AC current to flow through it due its changing direction nature. While inductor resist to change in current so it becomes open in a circuit while AC current flows through the circuit. It allows DC current to flow through it. After charging completely it allows DC to flow through the circuit hence become short in circuit with zero resistance.

Inductance:-

Inductance is the property of a inductor which is that "whenever Flux is changed in it, it produces an EMF."

or in simple words

Inductance is the ability of an inductor to store energy in the form magnetic field.

Henry is the unit of Inductance.

Formula:

formula for inductance of inductor is,

Capacitor, definition, formula, explanation, Capacitance

Definition:-

"Capacitor is an electrical device which is used to store energy or charges between its plates."

Explanation:-

Capacitor is use to store charge so that we could use it later by discharging it. It stores electrical charge between its parallel plates which are known as conducting plates of capacitor. There is no connection between these conducting parallel plates. They are separated by air or some dielectric. We use dielectric in capacitor to increase its efficiency. By using dielectric we could store more charge between its plates.

Capacitor doesn't allow dc current to flow through it because DC current flows only in one direction. so, it after charging from dc current it allows to flow through it as there is nothing in the circuit.

While it allows AC current to flow through it because ac current changes its direction after half interval, so capacitor charges at first half and discharges at 2nd half.

Capacitance:-

Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store charge. Capacitance tells us that how much charge we can store between the plates of capacitor. Capacitance is the unit of capacitor in one way. While capacitance has unit Farad. Farad is define as,

"When there will be 1 volts across capacitor then it will charge one coulomb, its mean capacitor have one farad capacitance."

Formula:-

By seeing definition of farad we could write formula for the capacitance of capacitor,

Q = CV

C = Q/V
