When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

A typical Twin Feeder cable, or more popularly referred to as "Zip Cord", consists of two adjacent conductors separated by insulation, or commonly referred to a "dielectric". For convention we assume ...

Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...

Have you ever had difficulty explaining the theory of inductance and its impact on an electrical circuit to a coworker or apprentice? A theoretical topic such as this is hard to comprehend but ...

[Prof MAD] runs us through The Hidden Power of Inductors — Why Coils Resist Change. The less often used of the passive components, the humble and mysterious inductor is the subject of this video. The ...
