Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

Question: How do you measure inductor current? Answer: Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors to temporarily store energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it’s often useful to ...

As Lenz’s Law states, an inductor in a circuit opposes the flow of current through it because the flow induces an electromotive force (emf) that opposes it. In order to keep the current flowing ...
