Inductor 2 An inductor consists of a coil of conducting wire (e.g. copper) An inductor is a passive element designed to store energy in its magnetic field Inductor exhibits opposition to the change of current flowing through it: this is known as Inductance (unit=henrys or H).

Circuit Symbol Inductor Basics Practical Inductor 4 An inductor opposes an abrupt change in the current through it (the voltage across an inductor can change abruptly) The ideal inductor does not dissipate energy. It takes power from the circuit when storing energy and delivers power to the circuit when returning previously stored energy A practical, non-ideal inductor has small resistive component, called winding resistance: it dissipates energy. A practical, non-ideal inductor also has small winding capacitance due to the capacitive coupling between the conducting coils. Parasitic resistor and inductor are ignored at low frequencies

Circuit Symbol Capacitor Basics Practical Capacitor 15 A Capacitor opposes an abrupt change in the voltage across it (the current across a capacitor can change abruptly) The ideal capacitor takes power from the ciruit and stores the energy: we denote this operation as, "capacitor charges up..." A practical, nonideal capacitor has a small resistive component, called Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): it discharges the cap. A practical, noideal inductor also has small Equivlent Series Inductance (ESL) due to the capacitive coupling between the capacitor leads or PCB traces or pads We ignore ESR and ESL at low frequencies
Ceramic Capacitor Capacitor Electrolytic Capacitor Surface Mount Capacitor 16 A capacitor consists of two conducting layers separated by dielectic material A capacitor is a passive element designed to store energy in its electric field Capacitance is the ratio of the charge on one plate of a capacitor to the voltage difference between the two plates (unit=farads or F)

Always Remember!! An inductor will act as a short at DC (low frequency) and open at AC (high frequency) 21 low frequency high frequency A capacitor will act as an open at DC (low frequency) and short at AC (high frequency) low frequency high frequency
