INDUCTANCE

Henry

unit of inductance

1 Ohm * s

1 H is equal to ________

volt second per ampere

henry is also expressed as?

inductance

property of a device that tells how effectively it induces an emf in another device

Inductive time constant

denoted by τ, the characteristic time given by quantity L/R of a
particular series RL circuit

inductor

part of an electrical circuit to provide self-inductance, which is symbolized by a coil of wire

LC circuit

circuit composed of an ac source, inductor, and capacitor

magnetic energy density

energy stored per volume in a magnetic field

mutual inductance

geometric quantity that expresses how effective two devices are at inducing emfs in one another

RLC circuit

Circuit with an ac source, resistor, inductor, and capacitor all in series

self-inductance

effect of the device inducing emf in itself

The induced current from the 12-V battery goes through an inductor, generating a large voltage.

The ignition circuit of an automobile is powered
by a 12-V battery. How are we able to generate
large voltages with this power source?

yes

Do Kirchhoff's rules apply to circuits that
contain inductors and capacitors?

The amplitude of energy oscillations depend on the initial energy of the system. The frequency in a LC circuit depends on the values of inductance and capacitance.

In an LC circuit, what determines the frequency
and the amplitude of the energy oscillations in
either the inductor or capacitor?

This creates an RLC circuit that dissipates energy, causing oscillations to decrease in amplitude slowly or quickly depending on the value of resistance.

Describe what effect the resistance of the
connecting wires has on an oscillating LC
circuit.
