Inductors
•An inductor in a circuit is denoted by this symbol:
•An inductor satisfies the formula:
dI
E  L
•L is the inductance
dt
•Measured in Henrys (H)
1 H  1 V  s/A
Kirchoff’s rules for Inductors:
I
•Assign currents to every path, as usual
•Kirchoff’s first law is unchanged
•The voltage change for an inductor is L (dI/dt)
+
•Negative if with the current
E–
•Positive if against the current
•In steady state (dI/dt = 0) an inductor is a wire

Materials Inside Inductors
•For capacitors, we gained significantly by putting materials inside
•Can we gain any benefit by putting something in inductors?
•It gives you something to wrap around
Can materials increase the inductance?
•Most materials have negligible magnetic properties
•A few materials, like iron are ferromagnetic
•They can enhance inductance enormously
•Many inductors (and similar devices, like
transformers) have iron cores
•We will ignore this
Symbol for iron core inductor:
•We won’t make this distinction
