Why are inductors used in circuits?

Inductors are used in circuits to control current and manage energy using magnetic fields. This video explains how they work ...
It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...
Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).
As ferrite technology has progressed into a mastery of magnetic permeability, the size of inductors has gone down to the point at which they are now fairly nondescript components. There was a time ...
Inductors play a key role in controlling current and stabilizing electrical signals in circuits. This video explains how they work using magnetic fields and why they are used in power supplies and ...
Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...
TDK has created inductors for automotive power-over-coax applications up to 1.6A. The three parts are an expansion of the 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm ADL4532VK series, and are rated for use across -55 to +155°C ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have devised a method of combining capacitors and inductors in a tiny, 3D rolled membrane. This will save space in the electronic filters ...
Scientists from NPL have developed improvements to a technique for measuring dielectric permittivity and loss of materials at MHz frequencies. The method used is named after two NPL scientists who ...
