Study Notes
Inductor Basics
- The unit of inductance is the henry (H).
- When the current is constant, the voltage across an inductor is zero.
- A practical, non-ideal inductor has resistance.
Inductor Behavior
- When the current is constant, an inductor acts like a short circuit to DC.
- An ideal inductor does not dissipate energy.
Capacitor Basics
- The unit of capacitance is the farad (F).
Non-Ideal Inductor Properties
- A practical, non-ideal inductor has a property of resistance.
