6.1 The Inductor Is a passive element ( can not generate energy) Represented graphically as a coiled wire Symbolized by the letter L Measured in henrys (H) The voltage drop across the inductor the inductor and the current in the direction of voltage drop are related as follows However the inductor is capable of storing energy in the magnetic field which can be released

Example 6.1

(b) At what instant of time is the current maximum ? Since the maximum will occur were the derivative of the current is zero

(c) Find the voltage across the terminals of the inductor ? (d) Sketch the voltage across the terminals of the inductor ?

(e) Are the voltage and the current at a maximum at the same time ? Since the voltage across the inductor is proportional to di/dt not i the voltage maximum is not at the same time as current maximum

(f) At what instant of time does the voltage change polarity ? At t = 0.2 s which corresponds to the moment when di/dt is passing through zero changing sign

(g) Is there ever an instantaneous change in voltage across the inductor ? If so at what time ? Yes, At t = 0 s Note that the voltage can change instantaneously across the terminals of an inductor

Current in an Inductor in Terms of the Voltage Across the Inductor Since Multiplying both side by the differential dt OR Integrating both side with respect to the differentials di and dt we have Note we used x and  the variables of integration, were i and t become limits on the integrals ( x and  become dummy variables )

Example 6.2 The voltage pulse applied to the 100mH inductor. Assume i = 0 for t ≤ 0 (a) Sketch the voltage v(t) ?

(b) Find the inductor current i(t) ? (c) Sketch the current i(t) ? Note the inductor current i(t) approaches a constant vlue of 2 A as t increases.

Power and Energy in the Inductor Integrating both side with respect to the differentials dw and di were w= 0 if i= 0

The capacitor voltage is related to area Under current source. For example area at t = 1 s is For example area at t=3 s is = 25 hence V(3s)=25/5= 5V. V(1s)=10/5= 2V. Area of Triangle is (1)(10)=10
