Conclusion

Inductors block a.c. but pass d.c.

7
New cards

What is self-induction?

A changing magnetic field in a coil induces an emf in the coil itself e.g. inductor

8
New cards

How does Lenz's law affect self-induction?

Induced current will always be in the opposite direction to the applied current

9
New cards

Explain what happens in the d.c. circuit

Electromagnetic self-induction takes place for a short period of time only delaying the lightening of the bulb briefly

10
New cards

Explain what happens in the a.c. circuit

Electromagnetic self-induction takes place continuously because the current is constantly changing. This drastically reduces the total current flowing through the circuit
