Back to the basics: there are three kinds of passive electronic components: Inductors, Capacitors and Resistors. An inductor can be easily built and many types of core and bobbin kits are available.

Let’s say you’re stranded on a desert island and want to get the news from the outside world. You’ll have to build your own crystal radio, of course, but your parts bin is nowhere to be found and Digi ...

Excessive use of electricity and poor efficiencies are no longer acceptable. Eliminating poor power factor will result in increasing electrical efficiencies and will reduce the overall use of ...

We caught up with Coilcraft in Nuremberg at Embedded World 2024 as part of our promotional coverage for the event. Len Crane – Senior Technologist – discusses power inductors and how predicting ...

Inductors of all types — whether discrete, chip, bead or coil — are trying to keep pace with the demands of modern power-supply designs by using diverse forms and materials, such as thin films, ...

One of the fundamental components of electrical circuits is the inductor, which provides inductance (opposition to changes in electric current). Conventional inductors consist of a coil of wire ...

Inductors have the exact opposite characteristics of capacitors. Inductors store energy in a magnetic field (produced by the current through wire), whereas capacitors store energy in an electric field ...
